FOOTBALL NEWS - Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has joined Arsenal for a record fee for the Gunners, a reported £56 million, from Bundesliga outfit Borussia Dortmund, both clubs confirmed Wednesday.
The 28-year-old Gabon striker, who has scored 141 goals for Dortmund since joining in 2013, signed a long-term contract with the storied London club.
His transfer fee outstrips the £46.5 million that Arsenal paid for French striker Alexandre Lacazette last August. Aubameyang's arrival is likely to lead to the departure of veteran marksman Olivier Giroud.
"Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has joined us from Borussia Dortmund on a long-term contract for a club-record fee," the statement from Arsenal said.
