Arsenal striker Pierre Emerick Aubameyang has ‘just landed’ in Barcelona ahead of a loan move to the Catalan giants.
That’s according to Mundo Deportivo and journalist Gerard Romero, who has a photo of the Arsenal man exiting the airport and on his way to the Nou Camp.
The Gabon international has become the primary target for the La Liga giants this month as they desperately look to add a forward to their squad before the window shuts.
Reports earlier today indicated that they had held positive talks with Arsenal and Aubameyang about the move, with it claimed the player was taking a major pay cut to seal a loan until the end of the season.

It was reported that he needed to do so if a deal was to be the finalised, as Barcelona’s financial situation left little room in the budget to accommodate him.
That, coupled with Ousmane Dembele staying at the club, meant a deal was difficult, but it seems they’ve found a way.
He’s now been pictured at the airport in Barcelona, which would suggest he’s on the way for a medical and set to complete a move from Arsenal in the coming hours.
