Barcelona forward and Chelsea transfer target Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has issued a public statement on Instagram addressing reports that he was the victim of an assault last week.
Reports emerged that the Gabonese forward had been threatened alongside his wife to open up a safe and hand over jewellery and valuable objects at their home. The striker was also harmed in the incident. Meanwhile, he has been the centre of immense transfer speculation, with Thomas Tuchel looking to sign the player this summer.
With less than two days left of the window, Aubameyang has agreed personal terms with Chelsea and football.london understands Chelsea are remaining confident of agreeing a deal with the Spanish club for Aubameyang, though the fee and structure of a deal are still being worked on.
