Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink sets Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang daunting Chelsea goals target

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has declared Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang can score 20 goals for Chelsea this season - but admits he is not the striker to lead the line in the long run.

Former Arsenal captain Aubameyang, 33, returned to the Premier League at the end of the summer transfer window by signing a two-year deal with the Blues. He only departed the Gunners for Barcelona in February but fell down the pecking order at Camp Nou following the arrival of Robert Lewandowski.

This prompted him to move elsewhere and he has made two appearances for Chelsea, failing to find the back of the net in the Champions League clashes against Dinamo Zagreb and Red Bull Salzburg. Chances to open his account for the Blues have been scarce over the last few weeks due to the postponements of the Premier League fixtures against Fulham and Liverpool following the death of the Queen.
