Striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang said on Tuesday that he regretted the circumstances of his departure from Arsenal and was sad at being unable to say good-bye to his team mates ahead of a likely move to Barcelona.
"I have always been 100per cent focused and committed on doing everything I can for this club which is why leaving without a real goodbye hurts - but that is football," Aubameyang wrote in a farewell message on Instagram. The 32-year-old joined Arsenal from Borussia Dortmund four years ago, scoring 92 goals in 163 appearances for the London side.
