Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang believes he has too much left to achieve at Borussia Dortmund before even thinking of leaving the Bundesliga club.

The 26-year-old forward recently won the African Player of the Year award, his first major recognition as a footballer. His exploits for Dortmund in 2015 have also received plaudits and brought about rumours of a potential move to Arsenal or Barcelona in the January transfer window.

"I still want to achieve lots with Dortmund. I am here and nowhere else - not at Arsenal, not at Barcelona, not on the moon," Aubameyang told Sport Bild, courtesy of BBC Sport.

This season has been the best of his career, with 18 goals in 17 Bundesliga games and 27 in all competitions. He fuelled reports of a possible transfer earlier this month when he missed training for "personal reasons."

Dortmund manager Thomas Tuchel later said during his team's training camp in Dubai that there's "no debate" about the player's importance to the team, and wouldn't "imagine for one moment Aubameyang leaving."

The Gabon international is under contract with Dortmund until 2020.
