CHELSEA hopes of signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang have been dealt a huge blow after the star claimed he has no interest in playing in England.
The Borussia Dortmund striker has made a blistering start to the season for the Bundesliga giants and scored 13 goals in 11 matches. His goalscoring form over recent years attracted the interest of Premier Leaguechampions Chelsea and rivals Manchester City over the summer before staying at the German club.
However, the chances of bringing the former Saint Etienne forward in the future have now got even slimmer as the 28-year-old revealed the English top-flight was not to his fancy.
Aubameyang told Telefoot: "I was never tempted by the Premier League. It's simply a personal opinion."
One move that nearly happened in June was to French side Paris Saint-Germain.
The Gabon international met with PSG president Nasser al-Khelaifi to discuss a switch to the French capital.
But Antero Henrique, who became sporting director of the Parc des Princes outfit earlier this year, put a stop to the deal as he believed the -Saint Etienne man was too expensive. Not that the Dortmund ace seems too disappointed over the collapse of that transfer as he insisted he is currently happy where he is at.
He added: "I'm very happy to have stayed at Dortmund because I realise that it's my family.
"I feel very comfortable there and things have started well this season."
