Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang calls Chelsea move a 'f****** big mistake' as Arsenal legend explains why he moved to west London for one star-crossed season

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has labelled his 2022 move to Chelsea a 'f****** big mistake' and shed light on the circumstances which took him to Stamford Bridge for a potential reunion with former head coach Thomas Tuchel.

The Gabon international had spent a significant portion of his career at the Blues' London rivals Arsenal, after moving to the Gunners in 2018 from Borussia Dortmund.

However, a well-publicised fall-out with manager Mikel Arteta had soured his final period at the Emirates, prompting a January move to Barcelona four years later.
