There has been an agreement reached for Chelsea to sign a player this morning as we race through transfer deadline day.
Chelsea have been trying to sign a new striker for Thomas Tuchel for the last few weeks but have yet to get one over the line. That is all expected to change today with Pierre Emerick Aubameyang set to join from Barcelona.

It will be nice to finally see this one get over the line now having been one that has been brewing up for some time now. Aubameyang will return to the Premier League, and also return to the coaching of Thomas Tuchel.

This is the News I want to hear good news Chelsea
T T don’t ever think of selling Broja we are surprised sometimes for not using Broja. TT wake up early from your little mistakes
Exactly I support u
my pressure to join
It’s a good one but Chelsea must not sell Broja.
Let TT drop harvart for broja and see what will happen
That is very good news, we are so much in need of natural striker who deserved all mutual recognition.
Hope will not end up crying TT let Alonso stay
Nice one but tuchel should always use broja as backup not benching him
TT will try to turn Auba into a wing back watch this space
TT has a striker right under his nose, his name is Broja not a wing back or winger but!!!!
A STRIKER wake up you muppet
TT has had his good years at Chelsea now the drain wash begins players are fed up with his tactics of trying to turn every player into a wingback and persisting with Havertz instead of using Broja especially against Southampton… TT always seems to be angry with everyone… Bye bye TT??????
TT, well done. However, please give the youngsters a chance. Look how Abraham is thriving at AS Roma. Werner is now tearing Bundesliga left right and centre.
Please Tuchel should please keep Broja even though we buy Aubameyang
