Rumour Has It: Atletico target Aubameyang could leave Chelsea and wants Barcelona return
Former Arsenal forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang only returned to London in September to join Chelsea, but his time at Stamford Bridge could soon be up.
The Gabon international has scored three goals in 16 games but has only started four times in the Premier League under Blues boss Graham Potter.
Chelsea have been active in the January transfer window, already bringing in Joao Felix, Andrey Santos, Benoit Badiashile and David Datro Fofana.
