Arsenal forward Aubameyang in Spain for medical; close to joining Barcelona on loan

Arsenal’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is having a medical in Spain as he looks to complete a loan move to Barcelona until the end of the season.

The Gabon international, 32, has not played for Arsenal since a disciplinary breach which saw him lose the captain’s armband in December.

Aubameyang, who had been linked with a switch to Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr, landed in Spain on Monday.

Barca will try to finalise the finances for a deal before the window closes.
