adminLONDON. – Chelsea want to sign Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang after missing out on Romelu Lukaku, according to Sky sources.
Chelsea also have “serious and strong interest” in signing Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero, according to Sky sources.
The Blues are intent on signing a world-class striker this summer, with Diego Costa also set to leave Stamford Bridge. Chelsea manager Antonio Conte likes Aubameyang and the 28-year-old is on his shortlist with Alvaro Morata of Real Madrid, Torino’s Andrea Belotti and another current English Premier League striker.
Dortmund will let Aubameyang go this summer for about £70m and he has told the club he wants to leave, with both AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain already holding talks to sign him, and a move to Tianjin Quanjian collapsed last week.
Dortmund chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke says they have not received any offers yet and warned interested clubs that they are running out of time. “We will wait a few more days but not long anymore,” he said. – Sky Sports.
