Former Arsenal striker Paul Mariner implores Arsene Wenger to end his "penny-pinching" approach to transfers and pay up for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Dortmund boss Peter Stoger says Pierre Emerick Aubameyang will still play in upcoming games despite bids from Arsenal to bring him to the Premier League. ESPN FC's Julien Laurens delves into the back and forth between Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund over Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Arsene Wenger says Arsenal are looking to sign more players, but believes his squad is strong enough to compete if they don't.
Borussia Dortmund have announced to their shareholders that striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will move to Arsenal for a fee of €63.75 million (£56m).
The move, yet to be announced by Arsenal, will bolster Arsene Wenger's attack and reunite the Gabon international with former Borussia Dortmund teammate Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
The deal was announced after drawn-out negotiations with Dortmund over the transfer fee.
Aubameyang is Arsenal's second major signing of the January transfer window after Mkhitaryan joined from Manchester United in a swap deal for Alexis Sanchez.
The duo formed a partnership at Dortmund before Mkhitaryan's move to Man United in 2016, and Wenger is hoping their combined talents will be more than enough to offset Sanchez's departure.
