Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has lifted the lid on his future at Barcelona amid strong interest from Chelsea this summer. The 33-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge as Thomas Tuchel looks to bolster his strike force.
football.london understand that talks with Barcelona over the striker's sale are ongoing, though it remains to be seen whether the former Arsenal captain favours a move to west London. It's said that the Blues boss is eager to reunite with the Gabon international who prospered under his stewardship in the Bundesliga.
It's believed that Tuchel has specifically identified Aubameyang as a priority signing before the transfer window slams shut at the end of the month. But, despite the German's wish, it remains to be seen whether the striker will pen a deal in west London as he keeps his cards close to his chest.
