Arsenal have until 2300 tonight to get the transfer over the line and it could be touch and go given all of the factors and logistics at play.

Any move for Aubameyang is now dependent on Dortmund signing their own forward, with the Bundesliga transfer window open until February 2. They have been strongly linked with a move for current Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud.
