Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was taking a Barcelona medical on Monday evening ahead of completing an expected loan move.

Sport says Aubameyang is set to complete a deadline day move to Barcelona, pending a medical.

Barça have already drawn up the contracts and have an agreement in place with Arsenal and Aubameyang, who arrived in the city earlier on Monday.

The Catalan club are hoping to announce the deal after Aubameyang undergoes a medical at Barcelona Hospital on Monday night.

Barça coach Xavi Hernandez wanted a new striker this month. A deal for Juventus' Alvaro Morata, on loan from Atletico Madrid, didn't come off, prompting the club to turn to Aubameyang.
