Barcelona confirm Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang arrival from Arsenal

Barcelona have confirmed Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's arrival at the club on a free transfer.

The 32-year-old was allowed to leave Arsenal in the latter stages of the January transfer window, having seen his relationship with the North London club sour.

A proposed move to Xavi's side appeared to break down on deadline day, but the Catalan giants still had enough time to revive the deal, with the Gabon international now being confirmed as a Barcelona player on a contract until June 2025.

Aubameyang scored 92 goals and registered 21 assists in 163 appearances for Arsenal, having joined the club from Borussia Dortmund in January 2018.
