Aubameyang, 32, will likely go down as one of Arsenal’s greatest ever goalscorers after netting 92 times in 163 games during an especially difficult time for the north London outfit.
But the Gabon international was frozen out of the first-team and stripped of the captain’s armband following a disciplinary breach in December and looks certain to have played his final match for the Gunners, with his contract due to expire in the summer.
After some confusion, Barca agreed a last-ditch deal to take Aubameyang on loan on transfer deadline day and the Catalan giants are expected to unveil their big-name signing in the coming hours.
The decision has divided Arsenal supporters given it leaves Arteta with just two recognised centre-forwards in Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah – who have scored just six league goals between them this term – for the second half of the campaign.
TV personality and life-long Arsenal fan, Morgan, was quick to pass on his best wishes as news of Aubameyang’s switch broke on Monday evening.
But Morgan, an outspoken critic of Arteta on various issues, pulled no punches with his assessment of the Spaniard’s handling of the situation in recent weeks.
‘Goodbye @Auba – 92 goals in 163 games for Arsenal, Premier League golden boot winner, and one of our best ever strikers who always played with such joy until our manager began publicly humiliating you,’ he tweeted.
‘Thanks for everything, Pierre-Emerick, and good luck at Barcelona.’
