Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang makes Thomas Tuchel admission and outlines his Chelsea priority

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang believes Thomas Tuchel was "a little bit frustrated and sad" following his departure from Chelsea last week – and says it's imperative the Blues players quickly adapt to the methods of the club's new head coach, Graham Potter.
