Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is in a strange position. He was courted by Chelsea for the final weeks of the transfer market and gained plenty of attention over his eventual deadline day move to Stamford Bridge.
It was a deal pushed largely by Thomas Tuchel and is seen as one of the strangest decisions made around the German's sacking earlier this week. Why would Todd Boehly and co spend £273million backing a manager they weren't entirely convinced by? And even more so, with the relationship between the parties struggling by the time deadline day approached and a plan in place to move on from Tuchel, why sign Aubameyang?
The answer is reportedly that the owners have given their countenance towards all of the new incomings and believe that they can still flourish, even without the manager that they were purchased under.
