[Privacy Policy](https://metro.co.uk/privacypolicy/) [Thomas Tuchel](https://metro.co.uk/tag/thomas-tuchel/?ico=auto_link_sport_P2_LNK1) is keen to strengthen his attack after the departures of Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner, with Raheem Sterling the only addition to the frontline so far this summer.

Chelsea are looking increasingly unlikely to sign Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Anthony Gordon before the end of the summer transfer window.

It’s set to be a long few days before Thursday’s 11pm (BST) deadline. “We have drawn a red line,” Lampard said last week. Who they turn their attention to remains to be seen in the final days of the window. [Hakim Ziyech and Callum Hudson-Odoi both on their way out](https://www.sportbible.com/absolute-chelsea/hakim-ziyech-chelsea-ajax-transfer-man-united-antony-20220828), adding to the departures of Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner, Chelsea could look short in the attacking department. However, after Everton manager [reported](https://theathletic.com/3544084/2022/08/29/ornstein-transfer-deadline-pepe-premier-league/?source=emp_shared_article) by David Ornstein of The Athletic, Chelsea are now having second thoughts about Aubameyang due to his age and salary demands.

Barcelona striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is the latest player to be linked with a move to Chelsea this summer.

The Blaugrana were able to sign him for free back in January after his contract with Arsenal was cancelled and it is said that Chelsea are only willing to pay half of the Catalan club's current asking price. According to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, a deal for Aubameyang is one of Chelsea's priorities at this moment in time. As for Manchester United themselves, the Red Devils are believed to have had their own interest in Aubameyang but have so far not made a move or acted on their attraction. The player will now be the subject of more intense transfer talks between the clubs, with a scheduled meeting set to take place today (Thursday, August 18), as per Fabrizio Romano. The priority is to sign up Kounde." It was ruled out days ago, Pierre is focused on Chelsea bid as he wants UCL football. Xavi has said: "There is a market that ends on August 31 and we will see what will happen. I am counting on him and tomorrow it could be important, but we will see the circumstances. Meeting in the next hours, scheduled since last Sunday - main focus will be on the personal terms. also, Xavi pushing to keep Auba is another reason."

Authorities told the Spanish daily El País that Aubameyang was hit and forced to open a safe where the couple kept jewelry. Aubameyang did not play in Barcelona’s 4–0 win over Valladolid in the Spanish league on Sunday evening.

CHELSEA are reportedly interested in signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The Blues are interested in a deal for the former [Arsenal](/latest/arsenal-fc) star but could be persuaded to look elsewhere in the final days of the transfer window. However, the German has warned Chelsea’s fringe players that they must commit 100 per-cent to Chelsea if they do not earn moves before Thursday night. Tuchel has said that he would be happy with the club’s transfer business even if no more players join. Chelsea have been linked with several players ahead of Thursday’s transfer deadline. Aubameyang could therefore remain with the La Liga club beyond the summer transfer window, despite losing his place to new signing Robert Lewandowski. The Stamford Bridge hierarchy do not want to pay Barca’s asking price for a player who has turned 33.

The attackers allegedly threatened him and his wife with guns and iron bars. [Associated Press](https://apnews.com/article/sports-soccer-la-liga-spain-pierre-emerick-aubameyang-152ae99dc17be7ed51a38a20a4f8c7d0), who report that: “Aubameyang was hit and forced to open a safe where the couple kept jewellery. The experienced frontman will be looking to put the incident behind him, as the relevant authorities investigate, and he has been linked with a return to English football at Chelsea before the summer transfer window closes.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's house was targeted by thieves following Barcelona's La Liga win over Real Valladolid.

Manchester United have also been tipped to make a bid for the player before the transfer window closes this week. Chelsea have long been linked with a bid for the player, despite his Arsenal connections. With the Catalans having signed Lewandowski from Bayern Munich for an initial €45 million (£38.4m/$45m), the Gabon international's starting spot under Xavi has been taken. The club's off-field turmoil amid financial problems and a change in presidency, coupled with returning hero Xavi's attempts to transform their fortunes on the pitch, meant Aubameyang's deal always felt like more of a short-term option. Aubameyang's average of 0.91 goals per 90 minutes placed him fifth behind Kylian Mbappe, Moussa Dembele, Karim Benzema and Christopher Nkunku in the top divisions. Over that period, he was joint-seventh in terms of goals scored among players in Europe's top-five leagues, one behind Robert Lewandowski and Harry Kane on 12.

The player and his wife were threatened, and he was also hit. Read more at straitstimes.com.

In June, police arrested six people in connection with the €3 million (S$4.1 million) burglary at the house belonging to former Brazil forward Ronaldo. He joined Barcelona in February from Arsenal after reportedly having fallen out with Gunners manager Mikel Arteta due to disciplinary breaches. BARCELONA (AFP) - Barcelona striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was the victim of a violent armed robbery at his home in the early hours of Monday (Aug 29), the Spanish football club said.

CHELSEA have reportedly seen a deal for Barcelona striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang stall.

With a lack of out-and-out centre-forward options available at present, it may well be worth the Blues giving the 29-year-old a second bite at the Premier League cherry. The Blues have previously been linked with the 29-year-old, who has already struck three goals in his first three Premier League matches this season, and with the Ivory Coast international having entered the final year of his contract, a cut-price deal could well be on the cards. With Ronaldo still desperate to depart United, the Red Devils looking rejuvenated in his absence and the Blues in urgent need of an out-and-out centre forward, it seems feasible that a shock move may be of benefit to all parties. Chelsea are thought to be one of a number of clubs the Portuguese superstar's agent Jorge Mendes has offered the player to in recent months, but talks seemingly went no further than that. In addition to a difference of opinion with Barcelona over a fee for the 33-year-old, personal terms with the player are expected to be problematic, amid murmurings of wage excessive demands. With that in mind, Express Sport take a look at four alternatives the Blues may well be forced to consider.
