Barcelona add Arsenal striker Aubameyang to shopping list

Barcelona have added Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to their summer shopping list.

Barca see Aubameyang as an alternative to their prime attacking transfer target Antoine Griezmann of Atletico Madrid.

Also on their backup list, reports Mundo Deportivo, are Aubameyang's Gunners teammate Alexandre Lacazette and Manchester United ace Marcus Rashford.

Aubameyang, before joining Arsenal, long talked about moving to Spain when with Borussia Dortmund.

He has stated, "One day I will play in another championship. My dream is to play in Spain. I'm 100% committed with Borussia currently.

"But after this contract, I have this dream of playing in Spain. I hope that this will happen, but when? I do not know.

"Many people think that the Premier League would be good for me, but my mother is Spanish and I really dream of playing there."
