Arsenal have confirmed the signing of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from
Bundesliga side Borrussia Dortmund for a club record fee of £56m.
The 28 year old's fee eclipses the £46m Arsenal paid last summer for
France international Alexandre Lacazette.
The 6ft 2in Gabonese international arrives with a prolific record in
the Bundesliga having scored 21 goals in 24 matches this season for
Dortmund and a total of 141 goals in 214 matches after he joined from
La Liga side Saint Etienne in 2013.
His signing come at time when Arsenal are struggling in the league
after another away defeat last night against Swansea after series of
defensive errors cost them.
With the departure of Alexis Sanchez to Manchester United, Arsenal
have brought in a player who can fill the void left by the Chilean.
But how Arsene Wenger fits him into the teams alongside former record
signing Alexandre Lacazette remains to be seen.
