Chelsea are considering making a move for Barcelona forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, football.london understands. The 33-year-old, who moved from Arsenal to Barcelona in January, has been identified as someone to bolster the Blues' attack.
As per a report from the Telegraph on Monday evening, Chelsea are expected to find out at some point this week whether they have a 'realistic chance' of signing Aubameyang this summer. Aubameyang, Frenkie de Jong, and Memphis Depay have all been offered to Chelsea over the past few days as the Catalan club look to offload some of their highest earners to clear a decent chunk of their wage bill.
Thomas Tuchel managed Aubameyang for two years when the pair were at Borussia Dortmund – and, in that time, the Gabon international netted 79 goals in all competitions. The Chelsea head coach recently refused to comment on speculation linking him with a reunion with his former striker.
