Arsenal sign Borussia Dortmund striker, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for club record £56m

Image
Arsenal have signed Gabon striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Borussia Dortmund in a club record £56m deal.     The Gunners had two bids for the 28-year-old rejected by Dortmund before agreeing a fee that eclipses the £46.5m July purchase of Alexandre Lacazette. Dortmund would only sell after finding a replacement, with Chelsea forward Michy Batshuayi to join on loan.     Aubameyang scored 141 goals in 213 games for Dortmund since 2013, including 21 in 24 matches this season.  But he was suspended by the German club for their match against Wolfsburg on 14 January for missing a team meeting.     The forward was also left out of the squad for their next game game at Hertha Berlin because club officials felt he was not focused enough, but he played 90 minutes in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Freiburg.  He has played 56 times for Gabon, scoring 23 goals.

But one of her schoolmates has now come out to say she doesn't deserve people's pity because she is the most hurtful and rude person in school who bullies others too.   Lauren Williams, popularly called Lulu, was standing in the hallway at school talking to a friend when a boy walked up to her and pulled her wig (read here ). She was so upset and ran into the bathroom crying but they followed her and continued filming.    After the incident, Lulu's sister Kayla Williams and her mother Myckelle shared the disturbing video online and revealed that Lulu has a scalp condition that doesn't let her hair grow well, meaning she has to wear wigs.      A lot of people on social media rallied around the family and tried to lift Lulu's spirit with supportive words. They also called for the bullies to be punished. However, a student of the sc
