Gignac dismisses reports he's leaving Tigres

Andre-Pierre Gignac took to Twitter to allay fears he's heading for the Tigres UANL exit shortly after France's Euro 2016 final defeat to Portugal on Sunday.

The tweet translates as, "One tiger never leaves another tiger alone, see you soon."

Numerous accounts speculated Gignac was considering exploring a move elsewhere this summer - perhaps to another continent - despite an incredible return of 13 goals in 16 starts of his debut Liga MX season. The forward had apparently highlighted his ideal replacement too: SM Caen's Andy Delort.

But those stories have been quashed, meaning the strapping striker will continue to ply his trade in San Nicolas de los Garza.
