On Wednesday afternoon, Arsenal put an end to a weeks of continuous transfer soap by announcing the long-awaited arrival of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The Gabonees made it impossible to reach Borussia Dortmund several times in recent months, who put him out of the selection a number of times, but hopes that the fans of BVB will still think back to him with appreciation.
First of all, sorry for everything that happened last month, but I wanted to leave in the summer. It did not succeed, but now it had to be that way. Maybe I have not taken the best approach, but everyone knows that Auba is crazy. And yes, I’m a crazy boy “, he writes in a farewell message on Instagram.

I made mistakes, but I never had any harm in the sense of it. I will never forget these four and a half years at Borussia Dortmund, as you have given me all the strength to reach the level I am now at. I would like to thank the whole BVB family, the fans, the club, the staff and of course my teammates! Your Auba!”, he concludes.
On Wednesday, Aubameyang made the switch from Dortmund to Arsenal for nearly 64 million euros, making it the most expensive purchase ever for the Gunners. These Boruses seem to have set their senses on the arrival of Michy Batshuayi as a replacement, while Chelsea wants to pick up Olivier Giroud again at Arsenal.
Do you think Arsenal made a good purchase?
