Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is showing signs that Thomas Tuchel’s last act as Chelsea boss may prove to be one of his wisest.
The now-departed German coach was adamant that Aubameyang was the man to lead the line following the failed return of Romelu Lukaku. Having worked together at Borussia Dortmund, there were no concerns over the alleged ‘character issues’ which ended his stint at neighbours at Arsenal.
But just days after he was reunited with the Gabon international, Tuchel was axed as Chelsea boss and subsequently replaced by Graham Potter. It perhaps understandably raised some question marks over Aubameyang’s long-term future at the Bridge, with Potter likely to want his own man.
