Chelsea lose £25m transfer windfall as Thomas Tuchel handed Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang dilemma

Todd Boehly has been handed a fresh dilemma regarding Chelsea's pursuit of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang amid AC Milan's latest decision. The Barcelona star has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge as Thomas Tuchel looks to bolster his strike force.

football.london understand that talks with the Spanish side over the 33-year-old's sale are ongoing, though it remains to be seen whether the Gabon international favours a move to west London. It's said that the Blues boss is eager to reunite with the striker who prospered under his stewardship at Borussia Dortmund.

Tuchel has specifically identified Aubameyang as a priority signing before the summer transfer window slams shut. However, with AC Milan pulling the plug on a deal for Hakim Ziyech, Chelsea now look unlikely to unlock a windfall that can fund the former Arsenal captain's arrival.
