Pierre-Emerick Aubayemang is close to becoming an Arsenal player, after he underwent his medicals at their London Colney training centre on Wednesday afternoon.
The Gunners agreed a £55million deal with Borussia Dortmund for Aubameyang and the Gabon striker flew in from Germany today, to finalize the transfer.
He was accompanied by his father Pierre and his brothers Catilina and Willy.
Aubameyang was scheduled to appear as a witness at a court case of the man suspected of targeting Dortmund’s bus with three bombs last April, but he withdrew.
The official line from the club is that the 28-year-old is indisposed.
Aubameyang will become Arsenal’s record signing, as well as the highest-paid player in their history.
He will sign a £180,000-a-week three-and-a-half year deal.
