Chelsea agree Aubameyang deal with Barcelona

Chelsea have agreed a deal with Barcelona to sign Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang with Marcos Alonso going the other way on the Transfer Deadline Day.

Chelsea are understood to be paying in the region of £10m plus Alonso for the former Arsenal striker.

Aubameyang has been given permission to fly to the United Kingdom for his medical and to finalise the deal.

The Gabon forward suffered a minor fracture of his jaw in an attack on his home over the weekend.

Aubameyang, who is expected to be out of action for three weeks, can resume non-contact training next week.

The striker moved to Barcelona on a free transfer from Arsenal in January. He had three years left on his contract.

Although Thomas Tuchel has been reluctant to talk about Aubameyang in public he is keen to work again with a player who scored 79 goals for him in two seasons at Borussia Dortmund.

Tuchel has already spent £268m this summer on players, including Wesley Fofana, Marc Cucurella, Raheem Sterling, and Kalidou Koulibaly.
