Chelsea are yet to have a main man upfront ahead of next season with Diego Costa expected to depart Stamford Bridge anytime soon.
However, according to new reports, the premier league champions have been given the opportunity to secure the services of Borussia Dortmund star player Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for £65 million.
The Stamford Bridge club are still on the lookout for a good striker after Italian manager Antonio Conte told Diego Costa that he is not part of his plans at Chelsea next season, and have lost Belgian star striker Romelu Lukaku to Manchester United on Monday.
And according to The Sun, even though Spanish star Alvaro Morata is still Conte’s first choice, the Italian manager has now been offered the chance to sign Aubameyang this summer.
It is understood that Borussia Dortmund won’t mind selling the former African Best Player and that Aubameyang himself would prefer a move to the Premier League club over China.
Last season, Aubameyang’s 31 goals in the Bundesliga helped him emerged as the top scorer in the German top flight, and other top clubs like Paris Saint-Germain and AC Milan have also reportedly registered their interest in him.
As for Morata, the Spain international has joined the rest of Zinedine Zidane’s squad for their pre-season tour in the United States and the Champions League winners are not desperate to sell him.
