Chelsea tipped to sign perfect Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang alternative after Leeds loss

“Everytime he comes up against a top-four team, he causes their defence a lot of problems. So for me he’s intelligent, he’s strong, he can score goals, he can run in behind, he can link up play – what else do you need?

“So they’re going for Aubameyang, who is a goalscorer, assuming they get him in, they get him in. But for me that’s what they need, they need a missing part, and that’s scoring goals.”

Chelsea suffered a shock 3-0 loss at Leeds United on Sunday to put further pressure on Thomas Tuchel’s search for a new frontman. The Blues have four points from their opening three matches of the season despite having spent over £180m on new signings this summer.
