Chelsea are definitely still in the market to sign Barcelona striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang ahead of Thursday’s transfer deadline, according to Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth. Thomas Tuchel has overseen a busy summer at Stamford Bridge, with over £160 million spent on new signings already, but there remains time to strengthen further.
According to the Guardian, Chelsea are still pushing to sign the 33-year-old forward from the Camp Nou before the deadline as they look to bolster their striking options.
It has previously been reported that the Blues were in the midst of advanced talks over a move for Aubameyang, according to Sky Sports, with personal terms agreed.
The report adds that discussions were progressing with Barcelona over a transfer fee with a deal of between £15 million and £25 million on the cards.
