Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel pushing for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang deal?

Thomas Tuchel is reportedly keen to bring Barcelona forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to Chelsea.

Despite joining Barcelona from Arsenal in January, the 33-year-old is rumoured to be heading through the exit door this summer.

The signing of Robert Lewandowski is likely to reduce Aubameyang's playing time, while the Catalan giants are keen to offload players so they can free up space on the wage bill to register their new signings.

Chelsea have been one of the sides linked with the striker, and according to Italian football journalist Fabrizio Romano, Tuchel is pushing to sign the player that he once managed at Borussia Dortmund.

Although the Chelsea boss has urged owner Todd Boehly to acquire Aubameyang, Barcelona are yet to receive an official offer for the Gabon international.

Aubameyang has scored 13 goals in 23 appearances for Barcelona and has three years remaining on his current contract.
