Aubameyang

Chelsea signed Barcelona forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in a reported £10.3 million (12 million euro) deal on Thursday as the club's incredible transfer ...

"We wish him the best of fortune and every success in the future. Your smile radiated happiness both on and off the pitch, thank you. "I'm really happy.

The signing of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, for £10m, from Barcelona on transfer deadline day provides a firm full stop on the answer. Chelsea have spent ...

"As good as Sterling is, if they want to be competitive with the very best, they have to score 80 or 90 goals or more. He has scored 68 goals since February 2018 in the league, the fifth best of any player during that time frame. Aubameyang may now be five years older, but Tuchel has gambled that the scoring touch is still there; his stats at Barca indicate it absolutely is. Those five strikers cost Chelsea more than £200m in combined transfer and loan fees. For all the hundreds of millions of pounds spent by Chelsea in the summer, goals remain an issue. A key reason Chelsea have signed Aubameyang is his strong relationship with Tuchel. Early season defeats by Leeds and Southampton - the latter in which they played Sterling and Kai Havertz as a front two - have exacerbated this problem. They don't have at the moment. In the Premier League he struck at a rate of better than one goal every two games. However, amid the La Liga club's well-documented financial struggles, they have been forced to sell in order to register all of their summer signings. What was problematic was the club's malaise around him over four years, slipping out of European competition under Unai Emery amid dressing room discord. The manager knows him well and knows his character.

Chelsea sign Barcelona striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in move that sees Marcos Alonso set to go the other way; Gabon international joined Barcelona from ...

Chelsea have been struggling with an age-old issue during the German's tenure - converting chances. Aubameyang moved to Barcelona on a free transfer from Arsenal in January. While Barcelona are yet to formally announce Alonso's arrival, he has left Chelsea by mutual consent, allowing more time for a deal to be completed. The Gabon forward, who is expected to be out of action for three weeks, can resume non-contact training next week. That partnership ended when Dortmund sacked Tuchel at the end of the 2016/17 season and Aubameyang joined Arsenal in the winter window of 2018 for a then-club-record £60m - hitting the ground running with 10 league goals in just 12 starts. Aubameyang flew to the UK on Thursday afternoon for his medical and to finalise the deal, which was completed after the 11pm deadline but Chelsea filed the deal sheet to allow more time.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has completed his deadline day transfer move, joining Chelsea from Barcelona.

The only downside of this deal is that he won't be able to come straight into the first team because of a jaw injury he sustained when thieves broke into his home in Spain.
