Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel will reunite with Aubameyang after the two worked together at Borussia Dortmund in a deal that will see Barcelona receive €14 million ...

While Aubameyang had some issues arriving to meetings on time along with off-pitch drama off at Arsenal, these aren't things that concern Tuchel due to having a prior relationship with him in Germany. Aubameyang will sign a two-year deal with an option for a third while Alonso will sign a three-year deal with Barcelona. While Aubameyang fell out of favor with Mikel Arteta at Arsenal, he was effective on the pitch for the Gunners with 68 Premier League goals and 16 assists over 128 appearances.

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 rounded off a whirlwind transfer window with the signing of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Barcelona, reuniting the striker with Thomas Tuchel, ...

Chelsea have an option to make the loan permanent at the end of the season. Alonso, who made 212 appearances for Chelsea across six seasons, is surplus to requirements after the £55m capture of Marc Cucurella from Brighton. The manager had him for two seasons up to the summer of 2017 at Dortmund and enjoyed an excellent relationship with him, describing him as “a bit crazy but nice crazy”. Aubameyang and his family were the targets of an armed burglary at their home in Barcelona last weekend. The centre-halves moved to Real Madrid and Barcelona respectively after The Spaniard is expected to be announced as a Barcelona player on Friday after six years with Chelsea.

Armed thieves hit the Gabon international in the face and forced him to open a safe for jewelry, authorities said.

Analysing Aubameyang's style of play, where he scores from, the runs he makes, and how he might fit in a Tuchel team and this Chelsea squad.

What keeps Sterling, Havertz and Mount in the team is their relentlessness off the ball as well as on it. The quality of his delivery was on show last weekend against [Leicester City](https://theathletic.com/football/team/leicester-city/), when he provided a wicked ball across the six-yard box for Sterling to finish into an empty net towards the back post. [Wesley Fofana](https://theathletic.com/football/player/wesley-fofana-B3xBiMo59OK63V81/)’s arrival in defence will free [Reece James](https://theathletic.com/football/player/reece-james-GKa1YfGdueMrjfBr/) to play in his favoured advanced right-wing back role. On a bad day, their forward line could be guilty of getting on top of each other by picking up the same positions. This is particularly interesting when considering that it may well be Havertz who would make way for Aubameyang in the starting XI, with the [Germany](https://theathletic.com/football/team/germany/) international failing to find the back of the net this season. The link-up between Sterling and Aubameyang in particular will be interesting. Sterling is not a centre-forward by trade, but has honed his ability to arrive late into the box. Aubameyang operated more as a central striker in Xavi’s 4-3-3 during his time in Spain, often flanked by the pace and trickery of Ferran Torres and Ousmane Dembele. That aspect of his game could heavily benefit Chelsea when you consider their strength in wide areas from both sides. Notably, Aubameyang has very rarely played in a 3-4-2-1 system so would need to adapt to the new formation. The trio overlap in terms of their skillset in and out of possession, with good positional interchange giving them freedom to attack. The story of Chelsea’s season so far has been their ability to get into threatening positions, create good opportunities, but fail to convert.

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel will reunite with Aubameyang after the two worked together at Borussia Dortmund in a deal that will see Barcelona receive €14 million ...

That moves Havertz to the bench but also pushes American Christian Pulisic further down the pecking order. While Aubameyang fell out of favor with Mikel Arteta at Arsenal, he was effective on the pitch for the Gunners with 68 Premier League goals and 16 assists over 128 appearances. Aubameyang will sign a two-year deal with an option for a third while Alonso will sign a three-year deal with Barcelona.
