Chelsea have completed its sixth major summer signing by adding striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Barcelona to the squad on a two-year contract with an (unconfirmed) option to extend for another year.

It took a while for Chelsea to convince Barcelona to agree to this transfer at somewhat reasonable terms, eventually negotiating a cash fee of €12m (as confirmed by Barcelona) alongside Marcos Alonso going the other way.
Barca at one point were asking for around €30m.

Aubameyang scored 92 goals in 163 appearances for Arsenal in four years from 2018 to 2022, before going to Barcelona on deadline day in the previous transfer window.
He maintained that strike-rate with 13 goals in 24 matches since January, which is a good return for the 33-year-old who will be expected to help boost Chelsea’s attack.
