Fans convinced Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is ‘pushing for a move’ away from Chelsea with subtle hint
FANS are convinced that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is “pushing for a move” away from Chelsea.
That’s after the striker appeared to drop a subtle hint last night.
Aubameyang’s Premier League return has turned into a nightmare after scoring just once in 12 outings.
The 33-year-old was also axed from Chelsea’s Champions League squad last month.
And it’s reckoned Aubameyang will now depart this summer, just one year after moving to Stamford Bridge from Barcelona.
The former Arsenal captain has already turned down a move to MLS side LAFC.
But it appears he is keen on a return to the Nou Camp.
Aubameyang scored 13 goals during his six-month spell at Barcelona last year.
It was only a personal plea from pal Thomas Tuchel that convinced him to quit the Catalan side in the first place.
And it now looks like the Gabon ace wants another crack at glory with the Spanish giants after failing to win over Graham Potter.

Barcelona were in Copa del Rey action against Real Madrid last night, winning the first leg of their semi-final 1-0.
And Aubameyang posted a picture to his Instagram Story revealing he was watching the match on his iPad.
Fans now believe the veteran is desperately angling for a way back to Barcelona.
One said: “Auba definitely wants Barcelona back!”
Another declared: “Aubameyang misses Barcelona… but Barcelona also misses him.”
One noted: “Auba, playing at Chelsea, does not forget his former team.”
Another added: “He’s pushing for a move back there.”
