Chelsea will welcome Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as a new player this summer less than nine months after he left Arsenal to join Barcelona. The striker fell out with manager Mikel Arteta due to several disciplinary breaches which were further detailed in the recent All or Nothing Amazon documentary.
Chelsea are set to pay around £6.5million for Aubameyang, with left-back Marcos Alonso going in the opposite direction, football.london understands. Arsenal signed their long-term replacement for the striker role earlier in the summer with Gabriel Jesus coming in from Manchester City.
Having already scored three goals and added a further three assists in five games it looks like the right choice. However, there are a number of ramifications from the imminent Chelsea move that the Gunners will have to deal with.
