” I don’t know if you knew that, but a few years ago when I was at Saint-Etienne or when I was starting out for Dortmund I don’t really know anymore, I was close to signing for Tottenham.

I visited the facilities, the stadium, White Hart Lane, and the next day they never called back or gave any news“, Said Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang at the microphone of SkySports.
