Heynckes slams Arsenal target Aubameyang: I would reject him

Bayern Munich coach Jupp Heynckes has slammed Arsenal target Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Aubameyang's attitude has been strongly criticised by Heynckes, who has explained that he doesn't like to see players try so hard to leave their current clubs.

"I'm looking at all of this from a very critical point of view," Heynckes said of Aubameyang's push to leave Dortmund.

"I think clubs should reflect when it comes to signing a player of this type.

"I would turn him down."

Speaking more generally, Heynckes pointed out that most people would love to be in a footballer's position, so players should try to be happy with what they have.

"I believe footballers are privileged, when you consider how tough and difficult it is to make a monthly wage out there," he said.
