new Chelsea player, Aubameyang finds Tuchel and England (official)


FC Barcelona formalizes the transfer of the Gabonese striker to the Blues for 12 M€ this Thursday.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to Chelsea, it's done. Announced for several hours, the transfer of the 33-year-old Gabonese international striker was finally recorded late Thursday evening, after the end of the transfer window. Time to complete the final details of a €12 million transfer, as announced by Barça. After a sumptuous recruitment in the offensive sector (Lewandowski, Raphinha) and the extension of Ousmane Dembélé, FC Barcelona was not intended to retain the former Saint-Etienne and Lorient this summer. Conversely, Chelsea were looking for a centre-forward after flop Romelu Lukaku left on loan at Inter Milan. Thomas Tuchel has therefore set his sights on a player he knows well for having trained him in Dortmund. A player who will not be out of place in the Premier League or in London for having spent four in the colors… of Arsenal, rival of Chelsea.

Between January 2018 and January 2022, "Aubam'" scored 92 goals and delivered 21 assists with the Gunners. With Barça, he shook the net 13 times in 26 matches, with an assist as a bonus. “Pierre-Emerick is an elite striker with proven Premier League experience and his arrival strengthens our squad, giving us new attacking options. We are delighted to have Pierre-Emerick by our side in the new era of Chelsea and we really look forward to working with him,” said Chelsea chairman Todd Boehly. A native of Laval, Aubameyang left France very early for AC Milan, before playing in Dijon, Lille, Monaco, Saint-Etienne and therefore Dortmund.
