Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang set for transfer lifeline and chance to 'correct mistake'

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang could find himself back at Barcelona this summer, with the Chelsea outcast desperate to return to the Camp Nou.

Following his £10.5million transfer to Stamford Bridge last September, Aubameyang has failed to make an impact upon returning to the Premier League and now reportedly realises that he made a grave mistake in signing for Chelsea. The Gabonese striker had only spent eight months with Barca, enjoying a run of 13 goals in 24 games and becoming a key player for manager Xavi Hernandez.

That's in stark contrast to how he's fared under Graham Potter, scoring just three goals in 17 games and being left out of the Blues' Champions League squad in favour of newer additions in west London. With Potter and co opening to sanctioning his departure, Aubameyang is dreaming of playing for Barcelona again - and fresh suggestions from Catalunya mean that it could become a reality.
