Arsenal legend claims Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang can offer Chelsea something Romelu Lukaku didn't

Ian Wright believes Chelsea have been missing a player with the quality of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The 33-year-old striker, who signed from Barcelona on transfer deadline day, scored his first goal for the Blues on his Premier League debut for his new side on Saturday. After going 1-0 down to Crystal Palace thanks to an Odsonne Edouard strike, Chelsea levelled the match on 38 minutes with a fine goal from the former Arsenal captain.

Thiago Silva won a header deep into the Eagles' half, which set Aubameyang up to hit the ball on the half-volley while on the turn. It was a clinical finish from the Gabonese attacker and one we've come to expect from him over the years.
