Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang arrives in London ahead of Chelsea move

Barcelona striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang arrives in London as he prepares to complete a deadline-day move to Chelsea on an initial two-year deal.

Barcelona striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has arrived back in London ahead of his return to the Premier League with Chelsea.

The former Arsenal man only left the English top flight to join La Blaugrana in January and scored 13 goals for Xavi's side during his debut half-season in Catalonia.

However, with Barcelona ultimately succeeding in their efforts to sign Robert Lewandowski from Bayern Munich, Aubameyang fell down the pecking order over the summer.

As a result, Chelsea have swooped in and are now understood to have agreed a deal worth €14m (£12.1m) for Aubameyang, which will also see Marcos Alonso head in the opposite direction.

Now, the 33-year-old has been pictured by Sky Sports News in the English capital as he prepares to undergo his medical with Chelsea and sign an initial two-year deal.

Aubameyang gave brief responses when questioned by a reporter about his imminent move to Stamford Bridge, but claimed "it's nice" when asked about his reunion with former Borussia Dortmund head coach Thomas Tuchel.

The Gabon international scored 68 goals and provided 16 assists in 128 Premier League games for Arsenal between 2018 and 2022 but may have to wait to make his debut for Chelsea following a violent robbery at his home.

Aubameyang sustained a jaw injury during the burglary, and it remains to be seen if the striker will elect to undergo surgery or adopt a more conservative approach to recover from the issue.
