Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has extended his contract with Borussia Dortmund until 2020, the Bundesliga club have announced.

Aubameyang, who has recently been linked with a move to Premier League duo Arsenal and Liverpool in several national newspapers, has put speculation to rest with the new long-term deal.

"I'm absolutely delighted that the next years of my career will be spent at Borussia Dortmund," Aubameyang told the Bundelsiga club’s website.

"I feel very happy at the club, in this team and in this city.

"Dortmund has become like a second home to me. Every part of me wants to be here and I have never wanted to leave."

The 26-year-old Gabon international arrived in Dortmund from Saint-Etienne in 2013 and scored 13 goals in his first Bundesliga season.
