Kepa Arrizabalaga revealed Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been left shocked by Todd Boehly's decision to sack Thomas Tuchel. The 33-year-old striker joined Chelsea from Barcelona on transfer deadline day, penning a two-year deal which includes the option of a further year.
football.london understand that Thomas Tuchel was a driving force behind Aubameyang's move to west London this summer amid the club's mission to sign a number nine following the departures of Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner. The former Chelsea boss was said to have specifically identified the former Arsenal captain as a priority signing.
But, little over a week after swapping the Camp Nou for Stamford Bridge, Tuchel was dismissed from his post as head coach and replaced by Graham Potter. And, according to Kepa, Aubameyang was 'a little in shock'.
