It is a win-win situation for all parties.

Auba will be returning to London barely 7 months after leaving Arsenal on a mutual contract termination after fall out with manager Mikel Arteta.

The Senegalese has seen his first place taken over by goal machine Robert Lewandowski who has already scored 4 goals this term.

Barca have also agreed to terminate Martin Braithwaite's contract with the Danish forward agreeing a deal with city-rivals Espanyol.

Sergino Dest has moved on to AC Milan and Jordi Alba wants to stay put at Barca despite his drop to third fiddle of Alonso completes a transfer while teenager Alejandro Balde being first choice.
