Barcelona head coach Xavi has provided an update on the future of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The 33-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Chelsea this summer as Thomas Tuchel looks to bolster his strike force.
football.london understand that the Blues submitted a £22million bid for the striker on Wednesday evening. It's believed that talks with the Spanish giants over the Aubameyang's sale are ongoing, though it remains to be seen whether the former Arsenal captain favours a move to west London.
It's also understood that Tuchel is eager to reunite with the Gabon international, who prospered under the German's stewardship at Borussia Dortmund. The Chelsea boss is said to have specifically identified the striker as a priority signing before the transfer window slams shut at the end of the month.
