Aubameyang, who is contracted with the Bundesliga club until 2020, scored 31 goals in the Bundesliga last season and Pulisic says he’s a perfect leader and just inspirational.

“Aubameyang is a leader, a big player for us and we love having him here and would love to have him here for a long time,” USA international Pulisic is quoted by BBC Sport as told visiting foreign journalists inside the club’s dressing room on Friday.

“Off the field he is just a good guy, always ready to have a laugh. But he knows when he needs to be serious. He is just a really good teammate.”

Aubameyang has netted 120 goals with 33 assists in 189 appearances for Dortmund.
