    Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has moved to Chelsea as he congratulates Hakim Ziyech on his move to Galatasaray. The 30-year-old winger had an uncertain future in West London for a while before finally securing a move to the Turkish top flight.

    Like the Morocco international, Aubameyang struggled to break into the first team at Stamford Bridge and spent much of the season on the bench before finding a new club in the summer. In his Instagram story, the Marseille ace wrote: \”All the best my brother. Free Hakim *crying laughter emoji* *clapping fist emoji* *heart hands emoji*. \”

    Ziyech then reposted Aubameyang’s post to his Instagram story. Unsurprisingly, Chelsea fans have not been happy with the Gabonese international’s coup at the club and have been expressing their feelings online.

    Asked if he could reinstate Romelu Lukaku in the Chelsea squad, Mauricio Pochettino replied: “It’s not just one team, it takes two teams to find the best solution. You can’t just put it on the club, it affects both sides.

    “The situation is where it is because of both sides. Both sides have reached an agreement. Before signing, we were informed about each player’s situation,” added Pochettino. “After signing, we had the squad we had. It’s so clear that nothing has changed and if there’s anything to report, we’ll report it.

    “We don’t have to do anything, I have to be focused on my team and try to do well. We can’t waste energy on a situation that was obvious before we arrived at Chelsea.”

    Chelsea suffered their first defeat of the 2023-24 Premier League season on Sunday at the hands of London rivals West Ham United. The Blues failed to capitalize on their dominance in the first half with Enzo Fernandez missing from the penalty spot. Michail Antonio and Lucas Paqueta scored after the break to give the Hammers all three points.

    Carney Chukwuemeka, on the other hand, went off injured after an excellent performance with a goal, another blow for Pochettino.

    Chelsea are looking for a right-winger who can also play as an attacking midfielder but has less than two weeks to sign a contract

    Chelsea still appear to be looking for a right winger who could also play as an attacking midfielder after Michael Olise turned down a move to Stamford Bridge. The 21-year-old playmaker has already been heavily linked with a move to west London and, at the height of interest from the Blues, decided to sign a new long-term contract at Crystal Palace.

    football.london understand that Chelsea were once confident of securing Olise’s signature. After talks with those close to the France Under-21 international, the two sides verbally agreed on personal terms before paying his release clause.

    Joe Shields is understood to have played a leading role in the negotiations, having recently played a key role in bringing Romeo Lavia to the Cobham training ground. However, despite the Blues’ best efforts, Palace capitalized on interest in Olise and tied him up in extra time at Selhurst Park.

    However, according to French outlet L’Équipe, Chelsea are interested in Rennes’ Jeremy Doku. According to the report, Manchester City are currently leading the race for the 21-year-old winger, who has been identified by Pep Guardiola as a replacement for Riyad Mahrez. L’Équipe add that Rennes are reportedly ready to sell Doku this summer for around €60m (£51.4m). The Belgium international, whose contract at Roazhon Park expires in 2025, made 29 appearances for the French side in Ligue 1 last season, contributing directly to eight goals.

    Doku started the new season in excellent form, scoring a goal against Metz on the opening weekend. His impressive performances and low center of gravity have earned him comparisons to Eden Hazard.

    In a Facebook Live video with La Tribune for RTBF, former Premier League star Phillipe Albert explained why he would be a great addition to the English top flight. He said: “He has incredible qualities which were discovered at Anderlecht, but he has been injured a lot in the last two or three seasons.”

    “He’s a young talent who left for over €20m (£17m), so Rennes would accept an offer of €60m (£51m). I think the walk is not too far away, he has the qualities to win.” Premier League or any World Cup.

    “If he is 100% physically, he will assert himself and repel opponents. It’s a bit like Eden Hazard at the start of his career with his double, triple accelerations which can hurt a lot.” “In England some teams are still a little naive at this level so it would hurt. He can play both sides, but I always believe that a player has to play on the right foot, so I would put him on the right foot. The role. The job of a winger is also to take care of the striker. So if you have the right player, there is no better player at this level.”

    As the Gabon international approaches the exit door, Mauricio Pochettino is willing to allow Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to leave Chelsea for Marseille
    As the Gabon international approaches the exit door, Mauricio Pochettino is willing to allow Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to leave Chelsea for Marseille without earning a single penny in transfer fees.

    Despite initially wanting to pay a transfer fee for the forward, Chelsea is now anticipated to allow Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to leave the team and sign with Marseille for free.

    Ten years after his last appearance with Saint-Etienne in the French top division, the former Arsenal player is about to make a comeback. The fact that the Blues are willing to approve Aubameyang’s exit without receiving any compensation is evidence that the striker has seriously underperformed at Stamford Bridge.

    According to the Telegraph, Chelsea initially refused to allow Aubameyang to leave until Marseille agreed to pay a transfer fee. Their U-turn means that although there is still work to be done before the deal can be announced, it is anticipated to be finalized within the next 24 hours as the forward departs for the south of France on Wednesday night.

    In reality, Aubameyang’s career has seen little improvement since Mikel Arteta, the manager of Arsenal, kicked him out of the first team in late 2021, and this marks the end of a miserable period in his career.

    At Barcelona, there was a momentary reprieve where the Gabonese player appeared to be getting closer to playing at his peak. His time at the Camp Nou was cut short, though, when Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea came calling and offered to pay just under £10 million for his services.

    Tuchel and Aubameyang had previously collaborated at Borussia Dortmund, but they only played one game together at Chelsea before the latter was relieved of his managerial duties.

    Graham Potter, who took over for Tuchel, quickly made the decision to leave Aubameyang off of Chelsea’s 25-man Champions League roster. From the forward’s perspective, his remarks would have hardly been reassuring to read.

    Because Pierre is a professional and I know he will be disappointed, I don’t think it will be difficult for him to be absent. We had three people coming in, but two had to leave, so he was the one who lost out.
    It was a difficult choice to make.
    “.

    The last of Aubameyang’s connections with Arsenal were destroyed when he left for Chelsea. This was clear when he returned to the Emirates wearing a blue shirt and was booed at every move as his former teammates won 3-1.

    Before that, he faced the Gunners at Stamford Bridge, but this time Arteta came out on top as Arsenal won 1-0 and Aubameyang was sent off after the game with just seven touches.

    Given that current Blues manager Mauricio Pochettino clearly views Aubameyang as surplus to requirements, a breakup and a Premier League exit may be best for the striker as he attempts to regain the form that once made him so lethal in front of goal at Arsenal.

    Brighton are “determined” to see that their £100 million valuation is met, according to Daily Telegraph journalist Matt Law, who spoke on the London is Blue podcast. Though the midfielder was reportedly promised a summer transfer as part of signing his new contract, talks between the two clubs are reportedly still ongoing and a deal is not believed to be imminent.

    Despite Chelsea’s interest, manager Laurent Blanc advised Rayan Cherki to stay at Olympique Lyonnais for another year. As Mauricio Pochettino searches for a replacement for Mason Mount, the 19-year-old wonderkid has recently been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge.

    Moises Caicedo makes his position known in response to a request from Ryan Cherki in the Chelsea transfer news.
    football.london is aware that the Blues have recently intensified their pursuit of Cherki as a result of encouraging discussions with his entourage about a potential deal. It’s rumored that Chelsea sent scouts to watch the attacking midfielder on several occasions last season, where they also kept an eye on Malo Gusto, who was signed in January.

    With Mount gone, Cherki has been deemed a “priority signing,” with Pochettino eager to expand his creative options this summer. Lyon hasn’t explicitly stated that he’s not for sale, but it is said that the West Londoners are debating whether or not to make him an offer.

    Chelsea’s chances of landing Matheus Franca this summer have taken a significant hit. The 19-year-old forward has recently been strongly linked with a move to Stamford Bridge as the Blues seek to bolster their roster with some of the most exciting young players in the world.

    While Mauricio Pochettino may aspire to add Franca to the club’s expanding group of Brazilian youth players, the west Londoners will face tough competition for his services. According to Globo, the forward’s entourage has received offers from both Chelsea and Crystal Palace, with Flamengo expected to decide in the “coming days.”.

    The report claims that this week, Franca’s representatives visited London to meet with the two clubs. According to Globo, Flamengo has assigned the adolescent a price tag of €25 million (£21 point 4 million), which may include add-ons to meet valuation.

    An 'impressive' £100 million player is currently being negotiated by Chelsea, and Tuchel also wants to purchase him.
    Chelsea are currently in talks to sign Randal Kolo Muani from Eintracht Frankfurt, a player Thomas Tuchel wants at Bayern Munich.

    L’Equipe reports it.
    So what about Chelsea and Randal Kolo Muani? We see…

    What’s the story?
    Well, the French news has mainly focused on Elye Wahi: Chelsea are said to be in talks for a deal to sign Montpellier’s number 21 as well. However, it has been said – within the story – that Chelsea are also in talks to sign Muani.

    The French international enjoyed a special 2022/23 season after moving from Nantes to Eintracht Frankfurt on a free transfer in the summer of 2022.

    Muani scored one goal and provided one assist in three World Cup appearances as France reached the final in Qatar.

    Remarkably, the 24-year-old also scored 23 goals and provided 17 assists in 46 appearances for Eintracht Frankfurt, for a phenomenal total of 40 goals in almost the same number of games.

    An 'impressive' £100 million player is currently being negotiated by Chelsea, and Tuchel also wants to purchase him.
    Muani’s extraordinary efforts caught the attention of German legend Lothar Matthäus, who hinted at the Frenchman becoming a future great.

    The 62-year-old is quoted by Jeunes Footeux: “Kolo Muani is a great asset to the Bundesliga. He is impressive in his gestures, full of composure when looking at opponents’ goal and often has the last word in duels.

    “What impresses him the most is that he shines in every game. It’s the sign of future greats.”

    Chelsea must do everything for Kolo Muani

    In our view, Chelsea should suspend talks to sign Wahi and focus fully on Muani.

    The Bondy-born striker is a real handful for any opponent he faces, and he always seems to be involved in the game, no matter how dominant the opponent is, as Matthews said.

    Combining superb aerial skills with clever movement and quick feet, Muani also has the pace to instill fear in defenders – he appears to be a truly complete striker, as his incredible numbers prove.

    Eintracht Frankfurt are said to want £100million for their No.9 this summer, with Bayern Munich in hiding – according to the Independent – and while that’s a lot to pay for Chelsea, the Blues are expected to pushing for it given his world-class skills. to engage him in the attack.
