Chelsea’s summer has been haunted by Barcelona so far after moves for Raphinha and Jules Kounde collapsed in favour of the Catalans. The Blaugrana might not get in their way for their latest target, but once again they find themselves trying to convince a player to give up the option of Barcelona.
Multiple reports claim that the Blues have made Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang their latest target. Chelsea have struggled to get the best out of their forwards in recent years, but the Gabonese has a track record of doing it for Thomas Tuchel while at Borussia Dortmund, scoring 56 goals in 63 games during their time together.
