Chelsea have been struggling with an age-old issue during the German's tenure - converting chances. Sky Sports News reported early on Deadline Day that Chelsea were closing in on an agreement with Barcelona for Aubameyang. 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 has been given permission to fly to the UK for his medical and to finalise the deal, with personal terms not expected to be a problem. While the Gabon international created headlines for the right and wrong reasons during his time at Arsenal, Aubameyang simply produced goals at Borussia Dortmund under Tuchel - with 56 Bundesliga goals in 63 appearances across two campaigns.

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has a close relationship with Aubameyang from their time together at Borussia Dortmund, and after a wobbly start to 2022-23, the head coach hopes the Gabon international can bring a spark to the club. THE BIGGER PICTURE: Aubameyang is set to pen an initial two-year contract at Stamford Bridge with an option for a further year. Chelsea are edging closer to signing Aubameyang, GOAL understands, having agreed personal terms with the striker.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will be playing for Chelsea this season, with an Arsenal tattoo on his arm…

The break up was a messy one, but it’s clear that there will always be a mutual love between Arsenal and Aubameyang. He’ll now be taking to the pitch every week in the blue strip of their rivals. He has an Arsenal tattoo on his arm. When on it, the man is a machine and ruthless finisher, blessed with awareness, leadership and technical ability. The reason for that? While the idea is a brilliant one and incredibly wholesome, it is admittedly rather funny to know that he’ll now be turning out for Chelsea every week with an ode to Arsenal on his arm.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was spotted in London on Thursday evening as he closed in on a £12m deadline-day move to Chelsea.

Sky Sports footage showed Aubameyang, 33, arriving in England in order to complete the deal. as the former Arsenal striker insists he is excited to be back in the Premier League after his brief spell with Barcelona Aubameyang sustained a small fracture to his jaw in the traumatic episode which is likely to keep him out for a number of weeks. The video showed the ex-Arsenal striker getting out of a taxi in the capital with his representatives. But there is now a race against time to thrash out an agreement with Barcelona before the 11pm deadline. There is now a race against time to thrash out an agreement before the window closes

After Chelsea's scoring struggles to open the Premier League season, it should be no surprise manager Thomas Tuchel wanted his ex-Borussia Dortmund scorer ...

Over the course of the completed 2018/19 and 2019/20 campaigns, Aubameyang scored 44 goals. Sure, he could add to the sense of turbulence that has been present at Stamford Bridge since Chelsea's change of ownership this year, but Sterling's match-winning brace against Leicester City on Aug. But think back to the Aubameyang who arrived during the chaotic final days of Arsene Wenger's reign and you find a player who hit the ground running in 2017/18. 27 marked the first time a Chelsea forward had found the net in 2022/23. But not for the first time in his career, Aubameyang's prolific performances were overshadowed by concerns over his attitude and how things ended. It will be easy for Premier League fans to assume a player who did little to curry favour around the time of his Arsenal exit has once again shown himself to be yesterday's man. He scored 10 in 13 league outings after joining from Borussia Dortmund mid-season, and his record over the next two full seasons, up to and including that fateful contract, was sensational. If we assess his return in terms of goals per 90 minutes, Aubameyang's average of 0.91 at Barcelona placed him fifth behind Kylian Mbappe, Moussa Dembele, Karim Benzema and Christopher Nkunku in the top divisions. From that group of elite marksmen, only Aguero (106.35) could better Aubameyang’s record of 133.39 minutes per goal. But Barca were in a state of financial turmoil off the pitch and still taking their early tentative steps under returning hero and head coach Xavi on it. When that galactico emerges in the form of Robert Lewandowski, someone like Aubameyang essentially becomes Joan Laporta's latest economic lever. After moving to Camp Nou last season, Aubameyang scored 11 La Liga goals in 13 starts and 17 appearances overall.

PIERRE-EMERICK AUBAMEYANG is poised to complete a move to Chelsea before the transfer deadline.

A rejuvenated squad is yet to translate onto the pitch, however, with Tuchel overseeing just two wins in the first five games of the season. Although his exploits in north London slowed down towards the end of his spell, he hit the ground running after joining Barca back in February with 11 goals in 17 La Liga outings to round off the campaign. Juventus midfielder Denis Zakaria is also on his way to Stamford Bridge on an initial loan deal after he completed a medical in Italy. Aubameyang was pounced on by reporters as he arrived in London to complete the final details of his move from Barcelona. The former Borussia Dortmund and Saint-Etienne forward kept things brief as his entourage attempted to block the camera from filming his arrival. The 33-year-old left the Gunners a matter of months ago after a spat with manager [Mikel Arteta](/latest/mikel-arteta), and he could make them pay for shipping him out of north London by hitting form for their local rivals.

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.

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.

"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.
