Barcelona president Joan Laporta admits they almost ran out of time to sign former Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Aubameyang has joined Barca as a free agent after being released by the Gunners yesterday. The striker has signed a deal to June 2023.

Laporta said this morning: "The documentation arrived when there was a minute left for the market to close."

The president also revealed they plan a presentation for fans and local media this week.

He added: "If all goes well, we will present Aubameyang at the end of the week."
