It's no secret that Chelsea are determined to add a new striker to their side before the transfer window closes. The Blues have been closely linked to the transfer of Barcelona striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang over the past few days and it looks like they can finally pass the deal.
According to journalist Fabrizio Romano (via GiveMeSport), Chelsea have made significant progress in their pursuit of Aubameyang. They are in 'senior negotiations' for the transfer of the Gabon international and have agreed on personal terms with the player, who is valued at £13.5m under Transfermarkt.
Notably, Barcelona are very open to the idea of selling Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang this summer as they look to raise cash to strengthen other aspects of the squad before the transfer window closes.
Barcelona believe the striker position has been well filled after signing Robert Lewandowski from Bayern Munich this summer. They also have players like Memphis Depay, Ansu Fati and Ferran Torres, who are up to the task.
Pierre-Emerik Aubameyang is also said to be willing to leave this summer as he hopes to continue to play consistently, with Obamyan reportedly hoping to return to the Premier League.
Chelsea desperately needed attacking reinforcements
Chelsea have had a tough start to the season in the Premier League, having won just two of their first five games so far. Most notably, their offense had nothing to say, which largely caused their struggles.
The Blues have only scored six goals in the Premier League this season and, more embarrassingly, three of those goals were scored by Raheem Sterling. This shows that Chelsea desperately need to strengthen their attack.
