Arsenal are set to pay around £53m for the 28-year-old striker. Dortmund will receive £2.5m in add-ons if the player wins major trophies with the Gunners.
Aubameyang wanted to leave the German club since the start of the month and he will be delighted to have found a solution. The player will now look to make an instant impact in the Premier League.
As for Arsenal, the Gunners have lost star player Alexis Sanchez to Manchester United earlier this month and they will be hoping that the 28-year-old can replace the Chilean’s contributions in attack.

Although Aubameyang is not similar to Sanchez in terms of style, he will provide the pace and goals up front.
