Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang triple Chelsea reunion can help Wesley Fofana amid £75m transfer

Chelsea completed the signing of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Barcelona on deadline day, seeing the Gabonese striker reunite with former boss Thomas Tuchel.

Aubameyang returns to the Premier League after just nine months away following his January transfer exit from London rivals Arsenal. The 33-year-old striker offers a reliable goalscoring record, something Chelsea sorely need right now with Kai Havertz failing to impress in attack after blanking in all five of the Blues' opening Premier League fixtures.

Tuchel revealed his joy at being able to coach Aubameyang once again, after the pair enjoyed a successful time together at Borussia Dortmund. It's not just the Chelsea boss that the Gabon international will reunite with, as Christian Pulisic also played alongside Aubameyang at Dortmund as well as new summer signing Wesley Fofana having idolised the 33-year-old during his time at Saint-Etienne.
