Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang aims final dig at Chelsea after ending miserable one-year spell

After scoring just one Premier League goal last season, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was promptly released by Chelsea after the arrival of new manager Mauricio Pochettino

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has fired a parting shot at Chelsea after ending his nightmare spell at Stamford Bridge.

Aubameyang left Arsenal for Barcelona in January 2022, and duly shone with the Catalan giants. He scored 13 times in his six-month spell in Spain, but the club’s financial restrictions prevented them from offering him a longer deal.

But the Blues duly pounced, with the Gabon striker returning to London for an apparent bargain £10.3million fee. However, a disastrous 12 months followed, with Aubameyang making just 21 appearances in all competitions – mostly from the bench – scoring three times.

He was duly axed from the club this summer upon the arrival of new manager Mauricio Pochettino, signing a three-year deal with Ligue 1 side Marseille. And after being unveiled by the French club, the 34-year-old was asked why he had been unable to mirror the form he displayed with Barca.
