Chelsea are set to sign Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for £10 million ($12m) in a deal that will see Marcos Alonso head to Camp Nou, GOAL understands.

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has a close relationship with Aubameyang from their time together at Borussia Dortmund, and after a wobbly start to 2022-23, the head coach hopes the Gabon international can bring a spark to the club. THE BIGGER PICTURE: Aubameyang is set to pen an initial two-year contract at Stamford Bridge with an option for a further year. Chelsea are edging closer to landing a proven Premier League performer, GOAL understands, with an agreement now in place that will see the former Arsenal striker return to London.

After Chelsea's scoring struggles to open the Premier League season, it should be no surprise manager Thomas Tuchel wanted his ex-Borussia Dortmund scorer ...

Over the course of the completed 2018/19 and 2019/20 campaigns, Aubameyang scored 44 goals. Sure, he could add to the sense of turbulence that has been present at Stamford Bridge since Chelsea's change of ownership this year, but Sterling's match-winning brace against Leicester City on Aug. But think back to the Aubameyang who arrived during the chaotic final days of Arsene Wenger's reign and you find a player who hit the ground running in 2017/18. 27 marked the first time a Chelsea forward had found the net in 2022/23. But not for the first time in his career, Aubameyang's prolific performances were overshadowed by concerns over his attitude and how things ended. It will be easy for Premier League fans to assume a player who did little to curry favour around the time of his Arsenal exit has once again shown himself to be yesterday's man. He scored 10 in 13 league outings after joining from Borussia Dortmund mid-season, and his record over the next two full seasons, up to and including that fateful contract, was sensational. If we assess his return in terms of goals per 90 minutes, Aubameyang's average of 0.91 at Barcelona placed him fifth behind Kylian Mbappe, Moussa Dembele, Karim Benzema and Christopher Nkunku in the top divisions. From that group of elite marksmen, only Aguero (106.35) could better Aubameyang’s record of 133.39 minutes per goal. But Barca were in a state of financial turmoil off the pitch and still taking their early tentative steps under returning hero and head coach Xavi on it. When that galactico emerges in the form of Robert Lewandowski, someone like Aubameyang essentially becomes Joan Laporta's latest economic lever. After moving to Camp Nou last season, Aubameyang scored 11 La Liga goals in 13 starts and 17 appearances overall.

Chelsea have an option to make the loan permanent at the end of the season. Alonso, who made 212 appearances for Chelsea across six seasons, is surplus to requirements after the £55m capture of Marc Cucurella from Brighton. The manager had him for two seasons up to the summer of 2017 at Dortmund and enjoyed an excellent relationship with him, describing him as “a bit crazy but nice crazy”.

However, the Gabon international had a fall-out with Arsenal and their manager Mikel Arteta last season over disciplinary issues. It's an honour to be part of this team and I can't wait to start. I have some unfinished business with the Premier League so it's good to be back," Aubameyang said in a statement.

Chelsea look set to complete the signing of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on transfer deadline day, with Marcos Alonso heading to Barcelona as part of the deal.

For the small fee paid plus Alonso heading the opposite direction, Aubameyang could prove a smart bit of business if he was to replicate these sorts of results in real-life. They also lost on penalties to Spurs in the Cacarao Cup fourth round, and after a 2-2 draw against Bayern Munich in the second leg, Chelsea were knocked out in the Champions League quarter-finals, losing 4-2 on aggregate. Aubameyang made the Chelsea best XI in the simulated season, with the Gabon international keeping Raheem Sterling out of the side. Chelsea also had decent runs in the cups, and Tuchel's side were unlucky not to win a trophy. Aubameyang had a great opening season in blue, with the Gabon international scoring 19 goals in all competitions. We also updated the Chelsea squad with the latest transfers and squad updates.

Chelsea have been in the market for a striker since Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner left, and have now turned to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is back in the Premier League, with the ex-Arsenal striker joining Chelsea from Barcelona in a £6.5 million ($7.5m) deal.

Marcos Alonso, meanwhile, is set to move in the opposite direction after the mutual termination of his contract with the Blues. The Gabon international only moved to Camp Nou in January, after being frozen out at Emirates Stadium, but he has returned to London on a two-year contract. - Alonso moves in the opposite direction

The transfer window is closed. Chelsea have brought Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang back to the Premier League, and will bring in Juve's Denis Zakaria.

He had been linked with Real Madrid this summer, and it would reportedly take an offer of at least €115 million for the Serie A champions to consider parting ways with him. It is reported that the Blues have turned their attention to the 23-year-old Serie A star, after they failed with an enquiry to land Paris Saint-Germain and Brazil international forward Neymar. [RB Leipzig have signed](https://twitter.com/RBLeipzig/status/1565361385802027011) Abdou Diallo from PSG on a season-long loan, with a €25m option to sign permanently.

Sources have told ESPN that the 33-year-old will fly to London on Thursday afternoon to undergo a medical, with all parties confident a deal will be completed before the 11 p.m. Alonso has been keen on joining Barcelona for months, but talks stalled amid Barcelona's financial issues, with Chelsea holding out for a fee in the region of £8m. It's a pleasure for me to be back and hopefully we will have a good season because we have to go and try to achieve our goals."
