Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been spotted at Dortmund airport as he edges closer towards a January switch to Arsenal.
Arsenal have already reached an agreement over a fee with Borussia Dortmund for the Gabon international, but the striker’s potential move to the Gunners has been protracted from the start.
The Gunners are trying to move out Olivier Giroud, but are struggling to agree a fee with Chelsea, who are also trying to loan out Michy Batshuayi to Dortmund; he would be Aubameyang's replacement.
However, it seems the pieces of the transfer chess board are aligning together and it has been claimed that Aubameyang is now on his way to London.

He was spotted at Dortmund airport earlier today with his family and he is presumably flying out to England’s capital to complete a move to Arsenal.

Former Premier League and Bundesliga star Jan Aage Fjortoft wrote on Twitter, reacting to the video: “Dear Arsenal – fans! Aubameyang, with his family, at the airport.
“Getting closer now. Destination London Gate 9.”
It remains to be seen whether Arsenal and Chelsea have sorted out the moves for Giroud and Batshuayi respectively.
