Transfer Talk: PSG plot shock Aubameyang swoop

Paris Saint-Germain are considering a shock move for Chelsea striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The striker, 33, only joined the Blues in the summer — just seven months after leaving Arsenal for Barcelona in the January transfer window.

But reports in France claim talks are already under way over a switch to the Ligue 1 giants next summer.  

The Gabonese star is beginning to find his feet at Stamford Bridge, netting in his two most recent games against Crystal Palace and AC Milan.

Though with Chelsea owner Todd Boehly targeting promising and upcoming starlets in West London, Aubameyang’s future past the current campaign looks unlikely despite signing a two-year deal.

The former Arsenal skipper was a last-minute addition on transfer deadline day, with former boss Thomas Tuchel thought to be behind the £10million switch.

The German coach has now been replaced by Graham Potter, who is likely to support Boehly’s vision for a younger squad.

Aubameyang was born in France and worked with current PSG boss Christophe Galtier at Ligue 1 outfit Saint-Etienne between 2011 and 2013.
