Aubameyang’s Punctuality Frustrates Dortmund Amid January Transfer Talk

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s struggles with punctuality are the only thing that frustrate Borrusia Dortmund about their star striker, sporting director Michael Zorc says.

The Gabon striker’s relationship with his club has seemed strained this season, with Aubameyang dropped by former coach Peter Bosz in November for a Bundesliga game against Stuttgart.

Reports suggested that Aubameyang’s partying during the international break before the fixture and his decision to fil am unauthorised video on club premises with a freestye footballer led to the sanction, which only lasted for one match.

The striker, who has already racke up 21 goalsfor Dortmund this seasonm, has been regularly linked with a move over recent seasons, but Zorc says the club are planning to go on with their star man in place.

Zorc told Skyn Deutschland; “Auba is a special player. We just have one problem, it’s his punctuality. I have to say that very clearly.

“Otherwise he is an absolute professional. I do not think we will eradicate it completely, but we can andle it well.

‘We are clearly plaanning with Auba, he has a very long-term contract in Dortmund, but for us he is an extremely important player, and we continue to plan with him.”
