Arsenal ‘agree deal’ to sign Aubameyang on £180,000-a-week

Arsenal have reached a £55.5 agreement in principle with Borussia Dortmund to sign Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Although Aubameyang is desperate to join the Gunners, the North London club had been trying to thrash out terms with Dortmund who initially demanded £60m for the striker.

Aubameyang, 28, is expected to sign a £180,000-a-week contract with Arsenal before Wednesday’s deadline, Guardian reports.

ALL DONE! @Aubameyang7 will be #AFC player pending medical. Fixed fee of £53m with £2.5m adds on if major trophies won, pass CL group stage (so pays itself). Wages not even half what Alexis wanted. Not the only deal #AFC working on

Borussia wanted Giroud but not valued at £28-30m that Arsenal want, so according to #Bild Batshuayi will be the replacement of Aubamayang at #BVB as clubs finalise the deal #AFC
