Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang hails "little brother" at Barcelona after rediscovering form

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has heaped praise on Barcelona teammate Ousmane Dembele for helping him return to form.

The ex- Arsenal captain swapped the Emirates for the Camp Nou on the final day of the January transfer window after a well-documented fall-out with Gunners boss Mikel Arteta. Now thriving in Catalonia, Aubameyang has put his red-hot form partially down to reuniting with Dembele, who he played alongside at former club Borussia Dortmund.

Aubameyang scored twice in their 3-1 victory over Celta Vigo on Tuesday which was marred by a sickening head injury to Ronald Araujo. The strikes took his LaLiga tally to 11 goals in 15 games and the 32-year-old revealed regarding post-match Dembele, via Goal : "He's my little brother. We have spent a long time together since the first day. When I arrived in Dortmund, I knew him a bit. With time we have built up this relationship which is like a brother."
