Chelsea is reportedly closing in on a deal to sign Barcelona striker

Todd Boehly and his board members have been rigorous in their feat to make sure they put up a team eligible to compete for titles next season.

The West Londoners are still hoping to further strengthen their squad after the signings of Raheem Sterling, Kalidou Koulibaly, Gabriel Slonina, Carney Chukwuemeka, and Marc Cucurella among others this summer transfer market.

After the departures of Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner, there is a need for a replacement and one player that has been linked to replace the duo is Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Chelsea is reportedly closing in on a deal to sign Barcelona striker Pierre Emerick Aubameyang.

Reports coming from Spanish journalist Gerard Romero has even suggested last night that the deal ‘will be done this week.’

As he says, he believes it is largely about getting the money in so they can register Jules Kounde in time to play at the weekend.

It is yet to be seen if the deal will go through in time for Barcelona to register Kounde.
