“Our second signing of the January transfer window, Auba is one of the world’s most highly-rated strikers,” a statement on Arsenal’s website said.

“He scored 98 goals in 144 Bundesliga games for Dortmund and had a hand in 172 goals in 213 matches in all competitions for his former club.

“That works out at an average of 96 minutes per goal or assist.”
