Todd Boehly's phone call with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to explain Thomas Tuchel sacking

Chelsea owner Todd Boehly has held a call with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to give the striker reassurances over his future.

The Gabonese striker only joined the Blues on transfer deadline day, making his debut against Dinamo Zagreb on Tuesday night. However, the talks are believed to have been prompted by Aubameyang's relationship with now-departed manager Thomas Tuchel.

Tuchel and Aubameyang worked together at Borussia Dortmund earlier in their respective careers, and the veteran spoke of his "joy" at being reunited with his old boss. The reunion lasted just 59 on-pitch minutes, though, with Tuchel sacked on Wednesday morning after the defeat in Croatia.
