Major claim made about Chelsea star who 'wishes he was at Arsenal for Premier League title race'

Emmanuel Petit has claimed that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang wishes he was part of Arsenal's Premier League title charge. The 31-year-old striker looks set to be left behind at Chelsea as Todd Boehly continues to revamp Graham Potter's side with exciting young talent.

Aubameyang, who sees his deal at Stamford Bridge expire in 2024, has fallen out of favour in west London with the Blues boss opting for Kai Havertz instead. The former Gunners captain has featured 11 times for Chelsea in the Premier League this term, directly contributing towards just one goals.

He's averaged only 48.9 minutes a game under Potter this season and the chances of asserting himself in the starting lineup look bleak following the arrivals of Mykhailo Mudryk and Noni Madueke. Arsenal are currently five points clear of second-placed Manchester City with a game in hand, while Chelsea sit 10th and remain some way from the European qualification places.
