Chelsea announced the signing of Pierre Emerick Aubameyang from Barcelona in the early hours of this morning.
If you were like me and had to hit the sack last night, you will be waking up to the good news of the confirmation of two more done deals for Chelsea, one of which being Aubameyang.
The club posted on the website confirmation of his official announcement, and as always, there was some words from the new owners explaining why they signed the player. And when you hear what they say, you can’t help but get excited!
Chelsea chairman Todd Boehly said: “Pierre-Emerick is an elite striker with a proven track record in the Premier League and his arrival strengthens our squad, giving us new attacking options. We are thrilled to have Pierre-Emerick on board with us in the new era at Chelsea and we’re really looking forward to working with him.”
Behdad Eghbali and José E. Feliciano, co-controlling owners, added: “We are really pleased to welcome Pierre-Emerick back to London as one of the final and important pieces to be added at Chelsea this summer. He’s a world-class forward and a leader, and we can’t wait to see him in blue this season.”
Aubameyang of course is a very experienced player and most importantly, has great experience playing in the Premier League with Arsenal. He is a natural goalscorer and will always score all types of goals. This is exactly what Thomas Tuchel and Chelsea needs right now.
Welcome, Auba!
