The Barcelona man shared his admiration for the Arsenal striker.
The France international spent one season playing with Auba during their time together at Borussia Dortmund, and the pair struck up a lethal partnership.
Dembele left Dortmund for Barcelona in the summer of 2017, for a fee believed to be worth in the region of £135 million, before Aubameyang followed suit five moths later, joining Arsenal in a deal worth around £60 million.
The 20-year-old has found it hard to establish himself with the Catalan giants, and Spanish media outlet Don Balon claimed that he could be offered to the Gunners in exchange for Hector Bellerin.
Whilst the rumour seems outlandish to say the least, Arsenal fans will still surely be excited to hear Dembele’s latest remarks.
The speedy forward told reporters just how highly he rates Auba, as quoted by Football.London:
“Honestly, I had a beautiful relationship with Auba,” said Dembele. “Too bad it only lasted a year. For me, a guy coming from Évreux, meeting Aubameyang meant a lot. I was pretty good with him. It’s easy to play with a guy like that, he goes fast, he is always well placed.”
Whilst Dembele seems certain to remain in Barcelona for the foreseeable future, his comments on Aubameyang are still interesting nevertheless.
