Arsenal are allowing striker and former club captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to join Barcelona on a free transfer.
It is a development that may leave some fans of the Gunners perplexed as to why the club are allowing such a star asset to depart without a transfer fee.
The move follows reports that there had been negotiations between the two clubs to agree a loan deal for the remainder of the season, which would have seen Aubameyang return in the summer.
