Real reason why Chelsea want Aubameyang

Transfer insider, Dean Jones, in a recent statement opened up on the real reason Chelsea wants to sign Barcelona striker, Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang.

According to Jones, Chelsea, who has been linked with moves for Aubameyang wants to sign him because they want players of a certain level at the club.

The former Arsenal striker, who is 33, has played under Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel during their time at Borussia Dortmund.

Aside from it being a reunion for the two, Aubameyang already has a good experience of the EPL.

With Chelsea losing two strikers in the persons of Romelu Lukaku to Inter Milan and Timo Werner to RB Leipzig this summer, Aubameyang would be a good addition to the west London side.

“They [Chelsea] are interested in Aubameyang because they want players of a certain level and there’s not many out there.

“You look at the way Barcelona’s frontline is shaping up and there would be some reason to believe that he might be available,” Jones told GiveMeSport.
