Latest on Aubameyang future
Barcelona sent scouts to watch Arsenal and Liverpool target Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in action at the weekend as they gear up for a busy January transfer window.
The Catalan club will have their transfer ban lifted in the New Year and have drawn up a long hit list of targets - with Borussia Dortmund hotshot Aubameyang now added to it.
The 26-year-old has been in staggering form so far this term, scoring 13 goals in just 11 Bundesliga outings, and Arsenal and Liverpool are both reportedly keen.
But they may have to do battle with Barca, who sent top scout Ariedo Braida to keep an eye on him in the weekend's 3-1 victory at Werder Bremen.
Although Aubameyang did not find the net, it was reported that Braida was impressed by the striker, who is under contract until 2020.
The player himself has also given Barca hope of signing him after revealing he promised his grandfather that he would one day test himself in La Liga – which could come as a blow to his Premier League admirers.
Aubameyang told Telefoot: "I signed until 2020, even though I always dream of playing in Spain.
"My grandfather died last year, and I promised him to play one day in Spain. He was a fan of Real [Madrid].
"I really hope to play in Spain one day, but the important thing for now is to focus on Dortmund."
