RUMORS: Chelsea, Man City ready to fight for Aubameyang

The Premier League clubs reportedly are ready to take advantage of Real Madrid's transfer embargo by going head-to-head to land the prolific Gabon international.

Chelsea and Manchester City are hoping for Borussia Dortmund forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to join them, according to Spanish publication

Don Balon.

The Gabon international, who has scored five goals in five Bundesliga games this season, has been widely linked with a move to his preferred destination Real Madrid.

But with Los Blancos under a transfer embargo until 2018, and with Karim Benzema and Alvaro Morata already on the books at Madrid, the Premier League clubs reportedly are determined to thrash out a deal for Aubameyang.
