Manchester United could hamper Chelsea's chances of signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, with Barcelona eager to finally register Jules Kounde amid financial fair play concerns. The 33-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge this summer as Thomas Tuchel looks to bolster his frontline.
football.london understand that the Blues submitted a £22million bid for the Gabon international on Wednesday evening. It's said that the west Londoners are very confident that the Spanish giants will accept their latest proposal.
