Graham Potter warned of Chelsea 'maverick' who will cause problems after Thomas Tuchel sacking

Graham Potter has been warned that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is a 'maverick' and could cause problems at Chelsea. The 33-year-old striker penned a two-year deal at Stamford Bridge this summer, which includes the option of a further year should the Blues look to activate said clause.

football.london understand that Thomas Tuchel was a driving force behind Aubameyang's move to west London 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 Gabon international as a priority signing, with the German eager to reunite.

But, little over a week after the summer transfer window slammed shut, Tuchel was dismissed from his post as head coach, with Potter taking the helm. And, as a result, the new Blues boss has been warned that predecessor's exit could have a disruptive affect on Aubameyang.
