Reporter believes Chelsea player “is gone” from the club already

Chelsea have some big situations to sort out in the coming months leading up to the summer transfer window, and one of the biggest tasks will be clearing out some players.

This will be players who no longer want to be at the club, and players they can make a tidy profit on for FFP reasons, after spending so much money signing new players in the last couple of transfer windows.

There’s one player who looks dead set to leave in the summer and I was actually hugely surprised he hasn’t already left yet, and that is striker Pierre Emerick Aubameyang. The former Arsenal and Barcelona player is seemingly third choice striker behind Kai Havertz and David Datro Fofana under Graham Potter at Chelsea right now.

Journalist Paul Brown believes that the player is gone already from Chelsea mentally, in words given to Give Me Sport this week.

He said: “I think, mentally, Aubameyang is gone. I think he’s left already.

“It’s quite clear that, as deprecating and nice as Graham Potter has been about him, he doesn’t really see him as someone who’s going to play for him at all.”
