Aubameyang's farewell to Arsenal fans: Leaving without a real goodbye hurts
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has parted ways with Arsenal and agreed a deal to join LaLiga Santander giants Barcelona on a free transfer, with the move expected to be announced imminently.
The 32-year-old striker took to social media to send a farewell message all Arsenal's fans, four years after signing for the Gunners from Borussia Dortmund.
"To the Arsenal fans," read Aubameyang's Instagram post.
"Thank you for making London home for myself and my family for the past four years. We went through ups and downs together and your support meant everything to me.
"Having the chance to win trophies and the honour of being the captain of this club is something I will forever keep in my heart.
"I have always been 100% focused and committed on doing everything I can for this club which is why leaving without a real goodbye hurts - but that is football.
"I'm sad I did not get the chance to help my teammates in the last few weeks, but I have nothing but respect for this club and truly wish all my guys and the fans all the best and many successful years in the future!
"Love, Auba."
During his time at Arsenal, Aubameyang played 163 games, scored 92 goals and provided 21 assists.
