Liverpool legend John Aldridge has taken aim at Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Aldridge has branded Pierre Emerick Aubameyang as a "sporting mercenary" for choosing to move to the Chinese Super League over Liverpool.

He said: "Pierre Emerick Aubameyang could have been a dream signing for Liverpool this summer - but the Borussia Dortmund striker appears to be ready to join the ranks of sporting mercenaries instead.

"Aubameyang is reported to be on the brink of sealing a move to Chinese football and for the life of me, I cannot understand why any serious sportsman would want to go and play in that third-rate league."
