Marseille express interest in Chelsea's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang after Mauricio Pochettino delayed his return to pre-season training

Marseille have expressed interest in signing Chelsea striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

This comes after Mauricio Pochettino delayed the forward's return to pre-season training with his squad as the Blues look to offload Aubameyang among others.

While there was previous interest from clubs in the Saudi Pro League, Aubameyang still remains at Stamford Bridge for now.

However, he could return to France as Marseille are the latest club to express an interest in the Gabon international.

It remains to be seen as to whether a bid will be submitted by the French side this summer, or if Chelsea will let him depart for free as they did with Cesar Azpilicueta and Baba Rahman this summer.
