Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang: Arsenal star's best moments after Barcelona transfer

Barcelona have confirmed the signing of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on an 18-month deal after Arsenal agreed to terminate the striker's contract.

It is believed Arsenal will save around £25m in wages after cutting short the Gabon international's contract. Aubameyang was earning £350,000-a-week at the club, equating to £18.2m per year, and had another 17 months left on his deal.

Aubameyang was stripped of the captaincy and dropped from the starting eleven by Mikel Arteta two months ago after disciplinary issues and has failed to make an appearance for the club since.

He made a total of 163 appearances for the Gunners, bagging an impressive 92 goals, and registering a further 21 assists. The forward scored 22 Premier League goals in two consecutive seasons for Arsenal from 2018 to 2020.

Incredibly the forward also beat Thierry Henry's record of becoming the fastest player to score 50 Premier League goals for the club, managing the feat in 79 appearances, four quicker than Henry.

Aubameyang won the Premier League Golden Boot for his 22 goals in the 2018/19 season, and whilst that wasn't enough to earn him the award for a second time a season later, he did win Arsenal's Player of the Season award for the 2019/20 campaign. He was also included in the PFA Team of the Year for his performances in the same season.

Aubameyang won the FA Cup and Community Shield during his
