Todd Boehly has been told that Wilfried Zaha is a 'special' talent as Chelsea receive their latest response to their new Anthony Gordon bid as Everton could force a transfer re-think on the Blues' behalf.
The Blues are in the process of trying to sign new attackers before the September deadline with a new out-and-out striker and a fresh winger on the agenda for Boehly as Callum Hudson-Odoi's and Hakim Ziyech's expected departures leave room for new arrivals. Raheem Sterling has been signed already and has settled in well during his primitive days as a Chelsea player but as demonstrated in both the Everton and Tottenham results, more of a lethal side is needed in front of goals if the current World Champions are to collect three points on the regular during the 2022/23 Premier League season.
Therefore, it's no wonder that Barcelona's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who has scored 70 plus goals under manager Thomas Tuchel during their Borussia Dortmund days together, is being heavily linked to making an early return to England after his fallout with Mikel Arteta and Arsenal has been well documented during the new All or Nothing season on Amazon Prime. football.london understands that the Blues remain locked in talks for the Barca star who is happy to stay where he is if the Blaugrana's asking price of around £21million is not met. Although, it is said that Aubameyang will listen and consider Chelsea's offer as a reunion with Tuchel and a guarantee of starting many games appeals to him greatly. Guarantees he won't have in Spain during 2022/23 due to the Robert Lewandowski acquisition.
