Man City, Chelsea to battle for Aubameyang
Manchester City and Chelsea will look fight it out for the services of Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The Gabon international is prepared to leave the Bundesliga outfit at the end of the season.
Aubameyang has been long linked with a Premier League move with reports suggesting that Arsenal failed with a club-record £52m bid for the marksman in January.
Spanish outlet Don Balon states that the Citizens and the Blues will do their best to convince the 27-year-old to join the English top flight.
The former Saint-Etienne man has his mind set on a switch to Real Madrid, but with the European champions on a transfer ban, he would have to wait until January 2018 to realise his dream.
And this provides the Premier League duo with a chance of sneaking a deal in with the player next summer.
Aubameyang has amassed over 80 goals for Borussia Dortmund since arriving from Saint-Etienne three years ago.
