Chelsea only have days to sign Borussia Dortmund star

Chelsea only have a matter of days to sign Borussia Dortmund forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, their chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke has said.

According to whoscored.com, the Bundesliga side’s star player has become a target of Blues manager Antonio Conte, ever since the fiery Italian missed out on his primary target of Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku – who ended up moving to Premier League rivals Manchester United for £75m plus add-ons.

It has been suggest that the West London side were preparing a club record offer of £65m for the services of the Gabon international, but they will have to act fast, with Watzke telling Welt am Sonntag, “We have not received any offers for the player,”
 
“We will wait a few more days, but not for much longer than that.
 
“Personally, I’d be happy if Pierre were to remain. Obviously there are clubs in the world where Aubameyang could earn more than he does here.
