Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s potential move to LAFC looks a lot less likely than it did not long ago.
Matt Law has been on London is Blue podcast, where he said that the striker is in fact “not keen” on a move to MLS. Despite there being “no problems” in the dressing room, the forward has been excluded from the Champions League squad.
We’re disappointed to hear he’s not keen on a move, from a purely Chelsea perspective.

Was Potter right to exclude Auba from the #UCL squad? 🤔

We were hoping this move would create a fairly easy out for all involved. Auba gets to go and play – and live in LA, which we imagine he will enjoy – and we get another big transfer mistake taken out of everyone’s line of sight.
Maybe another few weeks sitting on the bench will convince him – but as it stands it looks like we will be stuck with Auba until the end of the season at least.
