Barcelona striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is the latest player to be linked with a move to Chelsea this summer.

The Blaugrana were able to sign him for free back in January after his contract with Arsenal was cancelled and it is said that Chelsea are only willing to pay half of the Catalan club's current asking price. According to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, a deal for Aubameyang is one of Chelsea's priorities at this moment in time.

Armed robbers broke into the home of Barcelona striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang early on Monday morning, police said.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's house was targeted by thieves following Barcelona's La Liga win over Real Valladolid.

Manchester United have also been tipped to make a bid for the player before the transfer window closes this week. Chelsea have long been linked with a bid for the player, despite his Arsenal connections. With the Catalans having signed Lewandowski from Bayern Munich for an initial €45 million (£38.4m/$45m), the Gabon international's starting spot under Xavi has been taken. The club's off-field turmoil amid financial problems and a change in presidency, coupled with returning hero Xavi's attempts to transform their fortunes on the pitch, meant Aubameyang's deal always felt like more of a short-term option. Aubameyang's average of 0.91 goals per 90 minutes placed him fifth behind Kylian Mbappe, Moussa Dembele, Karim Benzema and Christopher Nkunku in the top divisions. Over that period, he was joint-seventh in terms of goals scored among players in Europe's top-five leagues, one behind Robert Lewandowski and Harry Kane on 12.
