Chelsea face a potential roadblock in their mission to sign former Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang before the summer transfer window slams shut. The 33-year-old has been heavily linked with an exit from Barcelona amid both Timo Werner's exit from Stamford Bridge and the Spanish giants' financial woes.
football.london understand that the Blues are considering a move for the Barcelona forward. It's said that Thomas Tuchel is looking to bolster his strike force and arm his side with a greater cutting-edge in the final third.
Reports suggest the Gabon international could leave the Camp Nou just seven months after joining the club. Aubameyang, who is currently valued at £12.7million by CIES Football Observatory, left Arsenal in January after falling out of favour under Mikel Arteta at the Emirates Stadium following a pattern of alleged misdemeanours.
