Aubameyang had travelled to the Gunners' training ground earlier yesterday, and Wenger had therein confirmed that the deal in a leaked video on the club's official website.
The north London club have now made a formal announcement regarding the move, and they have spent a record fee of around £56m, beating the £46.5m sum paid to recruit Alexandre Lacazette from Lyon in the summer.
The 28-year-old has joined us from Borussia Dortmund on a long-term contract for a club-record fee," a statement read on Arsenal's official website.
Aubameyang's contract details are yet to be disclosed, but it is widely speculated that he has inked a three-and-a-half year deal with Arsene Wenger's side.
The Gabonese footballer is due to link up with his teammates in first-team training, and he is likely to be handed his debut when the Gunners host Everton in the Premier League this weekend.
