Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang said he left Premier League Arsenal due to a strained relationship with manager Mikel Arteta but the Gabon striker is keen to start afresh at Barcelona and help them turn their fortunes around.

Aubameyang completed his move to Barcelona as a free agent on Wednesday after leaving Arsenal by mutual consent, ending speculation around his future after Arteta stripped him of the captaincy due to a "disciplinary breach" in December.

Speaking to the media on Thursday, the Gabon striker clamied: "Barcelona is a great club that has to win the Champions League, that's why I came here," Aubameyang added. "I am here to do everything we can to get back into the Champions League and then go out and win it.

"I have always had the dream to play in La Liga, it is something I have dreamed of as a child. This is the opportunity of my life. Barça are one of the best clubs in the world so that is why I am here."
