Barcelona, Feb 2 (BUS): With his official move to Barcelona, striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang hopes his experience will help a team in desperate need of a spark.
Barcelona struck a deal with the 32-year-old former Arsenal striker ahead of Monday’s transfer deadline, but it was not announced by the Catalan club until Wednesday, according to the Associated Press.
“I have experience. I have played in the major leagues and I am coming here to help and give everything I have for the team,” Aubameyang told the Barcelona website.
Gabon has previously played in the French and German leagues. He scored 92 goals in 162 matches with Arsenal in all competitions.
Arsenal released him for free after being stripped of the captaincy for disciplinary reasons. He signed a contract with Barcelona until June 2025 with an unconditional option in 2023 and a purchase clause of 100 million euros ($113 million).
“I’m really happy to be here and I’m looking forward to getting out on the pitch at the Camp Nou,” he said.
