Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has named his father as the one who helped him terminate his contract at Premier League side Arsenal before he made a big move to Barcelona in January.

Things fell apart for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang at Arsenal in December last year when he was stripped of captaincy at the Emirates stadium and also missed some matches.

The former Dortmund striker then traveled with the Gabonese national team to Cameroon for the 2021 African Cup of Nations crashing out in the Group stage.

And after the competition, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang did not return to Arsenal and announcement of him joining Barcelona was made days later.

According to the report on Football London and Mirror, Aubameyang explained that his father did every work for him to land at Barcelona where he recently scored hat-trick against Valencia.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's reaction about Arsenal exit

"My father did it all with my lawyer and they can say it best.
"But the week before we already knew that he could end up signing for Barca. The week before there were already contacts and I knew it."

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Barcelona seems to have found their latest superstar to embrace after the departure of seven-time Balon d'Or winner Lionel Messi to Paris Saint-Germain.

The Catalan giants returned to winning ways following the goalscoring masterclass by Aubameyang over the weekend.

In celebration of the feat attained by the ex-Arsenal star, Barcelona took to Twitter to drop an eye-catching body art of their new scoring sensation.

The official Twitter handle of Barcelona whets the appetite of its million followers by hinting with an emoji of three footballs before dropping the picture.

Aubameyang has never shied away from displaying a flamboyant lifestyle with his love for the glitz and glamour that comes with superstar status.
