Arsenal boss Wenger dismisses Watzke claims over Aubameyang: I don't believe you

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has dismissed claims from Borussia Dortmund chief Hans-Joachim Watzke over Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Watzke claimed Aubameyang downed tools in order to engineer his January move to the Gunners.

But Wenger stated: "If you look well at the history, he played only one game. He played.

"They suspended him for two or three games. One before the break and one after the break. So he played only one game at home, where they played a 2-2 against Werder Bremen, I believe. So maybe he was not ready physically to perform at his best, but I don't believe that he didn't want to perform."
