Todd Boehly has been warned against the signing of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as Chelsea near a move for the Barcelona striker. The 33-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge as Thomas Tuchel looks to bolster his strike force.
football.london understand that talks with the Spanish giants are ongoing, though it remains to be seen whether the former Arsenal captain favours a move to west London. It's said that the Blues boss is eager to reunite with the Gabon international who prospered under his stewardship at Borussia Dortmund.
Tuchel has specifically identified Aubameyang as a priority signing before the transfer window slams shut. But, with Jurgen Klopp known to have turned his nose up at a deal to bring the striker to Liverpool, Chelsea have been encouraged to take their business elsewhere.
