This is the opinion of former Chelsea and West Ham star Carlton Cole, who said the banished Arsenal star Aubameyang, could join Chelsea this January.
Juventus, Barcelona and Newcastle have been tipped to sign the Gabon international whose future at the Emirates is in serious doubt.
Aubameyang has been stripped of the club captaincy and stopped from training with the club’s first team after being accused of a disciplinary breach.
The striker and Chelsea boss shared some good moments together at Borussia Dortmund and Cole feels that could be a major factor that propelled the sensational move to Stamford Bridge.
“He’s not going to go down and start battling relegation, I can’t see that happening,” Cole told Stadium Astro.
“If he goes up to Newcastle and then gets relegated with Newcastle, where does that leave him?
“If you look at it, Chelsea are in need of a striker as well.
“Imagine that, you never know! Stranger things have happened. It’s still London, do you know what I mean?
“Look at the history… Dortmund, Tuchel and Aubameyang… they know each other and he knows what he gets out of him.
“… I’m just saying it’s a possibility because everything’s a possibility in football.”
