Chelsea offered Aubameyang by Borussia Dortmund, will cost £70million – Solhekol

CHELSEA have been given the opportunity to sign Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to end their search for a frontman.

That is according to Sky Sports reporter Kaveh Solhekol, who says Chelsea will get the 28-year-old if they pay Dortmund £70million.

Aubameyang has told the Bundesliga side he wants to leave this summer and previously attracted interest from Paris Saint-Germain.

PSG pulled out of a deal for the Gabon international but he is still keen to look for a move elsewhere in the transfer window.

Chelsea are in the need of a forward after missing out on Romelu Lukaku, who instead joined Manchester United, and with Diego Costa set to leave after falling out with manager Antonio Conte.

Aubameyang is one of a number of options Conte could turn to and the fact he top scored in the Bundesliga last season with 31 goals would excite Chelsea fans.




Solhekol says Dortmund will let Aubameyang leaves if the price is right and they have offered him to Chelsea.

“Now to another striker who is in demand,” Solhekol said on Sky Sports News about Aubameyang.

“We are hearing this morning that Chelsea have been offered the chance to sign Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

“He was the top scorer in Germany last season.

“He can leave Dortmund this summer for £70million.”

Aubameyang has scored 85 Bundesliga goals for Dortmund since joining from Saint-Etienne in 2013.
