Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang told he has same Chelsea problem as Romelu Lukaku amid transfer plan

Graham Potter has been warned that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is beginning to suffer from the same issues that Romelu Lukaku did under Thomas Tuchel. The 33-year-old striker extended his goal drought to four games as Chelsea booked a place in the Champions League knockout stages with a 2-1 win over RB Salzburg.

Aubameyang, who swapped the Camp Nou for Stamford Bridge on summer transfer deadline day, had a number of gilt-edged opportunities to extend the Blues' lead but he failed to convert. The Gabon international has scored just three goals in nine games for the west Londoners this term and doubt has already begun to be cast over his future in the starting XI.

While Aubameyang has missed chances, Frank Leboeuf believes that he needs more openings created for him. Speaking to Fair Betting Sites, the former Chelsea defender warned Potter that the striker could soon suffer just as Lukaku did.
