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."

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.

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.

Chelsea forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will need to break a bad trend after selecting his new shirt number at Stamford Bridge.

Aubameyang has previously worn the No.9 shirt for Saint-Etienne - during the 2010/11 season - and for Dijon in 2008 before that. Also on the list include Steve Sidwell, Franco Di Santo, Fernando Torres, Radamel Falcao, Alvaro Morata and Khalid Boulahrouz in wearing the shirt. The 33-year-old will be the club's newest No.9, taking over from Romelu Lukaku after he left he club on a season-long loan deal earlier this summer. Promoted Stories

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.
