It appears that Chelsea’s reported interest in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is actually genuine with more and more outlets confirming the rumours.
According to ESPN FC, a tier two source, the Blues are ‘closely monitoring’ the Gabonese’s contract situation at Arsenal ahead of a potential move in the summer.
Lyon star Moussa Dembele remains a preferred attacking target for Frank Lampard but the manager is ready to consider the Gabonese forward should the Frenchman’s transfer fall through.
Aubameyang’s deal at Arsenal expires in the summer of 2021 and the Gunners could opt to cash in on the 30-year-old when the window reopens in order to avoid losing him on a free transfer.
Chelsea are looking for attacking reinforcements ahead of the 2020/21 campaign to help ease the pressure on Tammy Abraham and the 30-year-old could prove to be an ideal mentor for the Academy starlet.
Meanwhile, Aubameyang as scored total 181 career goals so far and still counting, is he the right man for Chelsea?
