Chelsea are interested in signing former Arsenal striker Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang this summer but now face competition from Manchester United for the Barcelona star's transfer.
Aubameyang is being linked with a move away from the Catalan giants just months after joining the club following his departure from the Gunners in January. Thomas Tuchel is keen to further bolster his squad before the transfer deadline with the attack being a key area to strengthen, football.london understands.
The 33-year-old worked with Tuchel during their time together at Borussia Dortmund and the Blues' boss is thought to be the driving factor behind Chelsea's interest in the Barca striker. The La Liga club are said to be willing to part ways with one of either Aubameyang or Memphis Depay this summer, with the latter linked with a move to Juventus meaning the Blues will need to act swiftly to secure a deal for the Gabon international, but now face a battle with Premier League rivals United for his signature.
