Barcelona president Juan Laporta has admitted that he still hopes to sign Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang before tonight's transfer deadline.
Aubameyang was stripped of the club's captaincy last month following a disciplinary breach and football.london reported over the festive period that the Gunners were open to offers for the veteran frontman.
Saudi side Al-Nassr attempted to prise the Gabon international away from the north Londoners but football.london understands that the player would prefer a move to a European club, with Juventus and Barcelona both said to be interested.
