Chelsea are 'insisting Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to Saudi clubs'...as his huge wages continue to be a stumbling block for European clubs

Chelsea are continuing to shop Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to Saudi Pro League clubs this summer as they seek to get the 34-year-old off their wage bill.

With the help of obliging Saudi clubs, the Blues have done a fine job getting rid of the deadwood in this transfer window, paving the way for new boss Mauricio Pochettino to fashion a coherent side.

But Aubameyang, who joined the club just five days before his former Borussia Dortmund boss Thomas Tuchel was booted from Stamford Bridge in 2022, is proving particularly difficult to budge on account of his high wages.
