Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang spotted in Barcelona training before official confirmation of Arsenal transfer

Marc Mayo1 February 2022

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was pictured in Barcelona kit for the first time on Tuesday - as he underwent a training session before his move from Arsenal was officially announced.

The final details and paperwork were completed overnight for the Gabonese striker’s free transfer to the Camp Nou.

Aubameyang flew to Barcelona on deadline day to progress the move, which at one point appeared to have stalled before a late push to get it over the line.

With the Gunners ready to announce the deal on Tuesday morning, Barcelona are yet to give the green light although Aubameyang has already started his new life in Spain.

An official image of the club’s training session showed Aubameyang in the background, working under Xavi for the first time.

Spanish outlet Sport detail the 32-year-old’s meet and greet with his new teammates, and he spoke to each one by one ahead of the workout.

Aubameyang spent most of the session working closely with Ousmane Dembele, with whom he shares a close friendship following their time together at Borussia Dortmund.

Barcelona are expected to confirm the striker’s transfer on Tuesday afternoon.
