Chelsea’s pursuit of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been dealt a blow as it has been revealed that he won’t be available for selection immediately as he is reportedly nursing a broken jaw.
Chelsea are desperate to bolster their attacking ranks before the transfer window closes on Thursday night, and their poor form has only highlighted their need for recruitment further. The Blues have won one of their opening four matches of the season – losing 2-1 to Southampton on Tuesday night.
Thomas Tuchel demanded defensive recruits in the early stages of the window, and he has been granted his wish with the acquisitions of Marc Cucurella, Kalidou Koulibaly and potentially Wesley Fofana and Josko Gvardiol. But a forward is now the priority, with the German manager keen to reunite with Aubameyang following their time together at Borussia Dortmund.
