| Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang says he isn't interested in joining Arsenal right now |
Both the Gunners and Barcelona are interested in signing the Gabon international this January.
The 26-year-old has scored 24 goals in 23 games this season, helping Dortmund into second place in the German top-flight.
Dortmund have slapped a £44million price tag on Aubameyang in an effort to stave off interested parties.
And the player claims he will only consider leaving Dortmund when his contract expires.
"In football nothing lasts forever," he told German newspaper Bild.
"But my contract runs until 2020, that is a fact.
"I feel happy, still want to achieve lots with Dortmund and win titles, that is also fact.
"I am here and nowhere else - not at Arsenal, not at Barcelona, not on the moon - you can see that."
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger reportedly turned his attention to Aubameyang after his pursuit of Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema fell through.
The Gunners wanted to sign Benzema, 28, during the summer transfer window but Real held firm on their reluctance to sell.
As for Aubameyang, the striker has failed to score in just six of his 23 appearances for Dortmund this term.
He leads the Bundesliga scoring charts with 18 goals, three ahead of Bayern Munich star Robert Lewandowski.
