However, it became clear that Aubameyangs price tag was just too much for the Merseyside club.The Gabon international later moved from Borussia Dortmund to Arsenal for a club-record 56million.Speaking on Tuesdays Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast, Big Sam said: Aubameyang was desperate to come to the Premier League and we didnt really know if it was definitely a yes [to Everton] or not but it was probably not.
