Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is set to join Chelsea, sealing a reunion with boss Thomas Tuchel, as Premier League clubs passed the £2billion mark in a record transfer-window spree.

The 33-year-old, who played under Tuchel at Dortmund, has signed a two-year deal with a performance-related option of an additional 12 months.
