Transfer Deadline: Chelsea and Barcelona agree deal for Aubameyang

Chelsea and Barcelona have agreed a deal for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Early on Deadline Day, Media reported that Chelsea and Barcelona were nearing an agreement for Aubameyang. Chelsea is said to be paying around £10 million plus Alonso for the former Arsenal striker.

Aubameyang has been granted permission to travel to the United Kingdom for a medical and to finalize the deal, with personal terms not expected to be an issue.

Aubameyang suffered a minor jaw fracture in a weekend attack on his home.

The Gabonese forward who is expected to be out for three weeks, will be able to resume non-contact training next week.

In January, Aubameyang joined Barcelona on a free transfer from Arsenal. His contract had three years left on it.

Despite his reluctance to discuss Aubameyang publicly, Thomas Tuchel is eager to work with a player who scored 79 goals for him in two seasons at Borussia Dortmund.
