Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is at Arsenal’s Colney training ground ready to undergo his medical ahead of a £60m transfer, reports the London Evening Standard.
Arsenal have agreed a club-record deal with their Germany counterparts and want everything sorted their end with timing running out in order to get a deal over the line before Wednesday’s deadline.
Dortmund are still trying to find a replacement for Aubameyang and will not sign off on a deal until then, but have given the Gabon international permission to be in England to finalise his move to Arsenal.
The Bundesliga giants want to sign Olivier Giroud from Arsene Wenger’s side but the 31-year-old would rather stay in London and join Chelsea, which has put Peter Stoger’s side on red alert for current Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi.
Since August 2015, Aubameyang has scored at least eight more clear-cut chances than any other Bundesliga player (62).
