Borussia Dortmund have confirmed they have agreed a fee with Arsenal over the sale of striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, in what is reported to be a £57.38m move.
Arsene Wenger had earlier admitted to being delighted at being close to signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
“Yes, it’s good news,” Wenger said. “We need people who can give us more offensive power at the moment we are not efficient enough going forward and I’m convinced he will bring us that.
Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc couldn’t resist a parting shot at Aubameyang: “Apart from the unpleasant episodes in the past few weeks we would like to remember that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang at BVB was a real success story.”
The 28-year-old has been at Dortmund since 2013 and has scored 141 goals for the club.
