Chelsea are very confident Barcelona will accept their £22million offer for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, football.london understands. The Blues are still trying to sign a striker before next month's deadline and it looks as if they may have taken a big step forward.
Thomas Tuchel is determined to bring the 33-year-old back to the Premier League after he left Arsenal on controversial terms back in January. Aubameyang was stripped of the captain's armband at the Emirates Stadium after multiple disciplinary issues and his contract at the Gunners was then terminated, leaving him free to move to Barcelona.
His time at the Nou Camp has seen him score 11 La Liga goals in 18 appearances, but despite the impressive record, he could be sold before the window closes. While Chelsea are confident they can reach a deal with Barcelona, personal terms still need to be discussed.
