Armando Broja and Michy Batshuayi are currently the only real recognizable strikers at Chelsea. Of course, they didn’t start in any of the first two Premier League games and won’t anytime soon, as Broja will likely be sold or head out to another loan, while Batshuayi was never a first-team option. The only option in which Broja will stay in the club is if Thomas Tuchel doesn’t get any striker in the last 13 days of the transfer window, and that would be a disaster. The Blues have a new owner who is looking to make an impression and will not miss out on a chance to find a proper striker, especially since they got rid of two: Lukaku went on a loan to Inter, while Werner was sold back to RB Leipzig.🚨 Chelsea have made an official offer of €27M for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.(Source: @gerardromero) pic.twitter.com/AkC7oZef3n— Transfer News Live (@DeadlineDayLive) August 18, 2022 During the first two games, Raheem Sterling and Kai Havertz played up front even though they are not strikers, and the Blues need to find the new number 9 soon. That is why Thomas Tuchel wants to reunite with his former player, non-other than Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The former Gabonese international is enjoying Barcelona, to which he arrived in January as a free player, but Chelsea needs him, and he always got along with the German international while the pair was together in Borussia Dortmund. Four days ago, Barcelona rejected the 20 million euros offer for Auba, and they told the Blues to up the offer, and yesterday they did – a 27 million deal is on the table. With that kind of money, plus getting rid of his wage, Barca could finally register all of their players, so they accepted the offer.Newcastle eyeing no less than four Chelsea playersIt’s all up to the player now. Barca won’t mind, since they will earn a straight 27 million on him, Xavi wants him to stay, but understands the economic situation so it’s up to Aubameyang himself to decide.”I enjoyed a lot working with him at Borussia Dortmund. It was a pleasure. This has nothing to do with the situation now, but players stay your players because you work very, very close. Auba is one of these players. We had a very close relationship. Always when we played him here with Arsenal, there was always straight away this close bond. They always stay your players in a way, Auba is one of these guys” said Tuchel when asked about Aubameyang ahead of the Tottenham game.’I thought when you shake hands you look into each other’s eyes’Former Arsenal striker came back from a weekend in Paris and was greeted by a host of journalists at the airport but didn’t want to comment on his future. Instead, he had problems with his Ferrari, which had a flat tire, so he had to wait for a tow truck to arrive and that annoyed him. But, he will need to decide about his future very soon. Oh, and just for you to know, Manchester United is also interested in acquiring Aubameyang.##NAJAVA_MECA_6573813##
