Graham Potter provides Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang transfer update amid Chelsea to LAFC loan talk

Graham Potter has said there is nothing to report surrounding Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's Chelsea future amid reporters of a move away from the club. Talk has emerged over a possible loan move to MLS side LAFC for the remainder of the season after the former Arsenal striker was left out of Chelsea's Champions League squad for the knockout stages.

Following that news, Aubameyang further missed out on the Blues' matchday squad to face Fulham in the Premier League, while Kai Havertz has long since been preferred to lead Chelsea's forward line.

There was speculation of Aubameyang departing Stamford Bridge just months after arriving during the January transfer window but having featured for both Chelsea and Barcelona in 2022/23, the striker has been left with limited options.

FIFA only allow players to represent two clubs within a season but leagues such as the MLS - which are heading into their next campaign - are the only teams for whom the 33-year-old would be eligible.

As a result, talk of a move to LAFC emerged, though there is no indication that Aubameyang himself is keen on a move to the United States. The summer signing spent his weekend in Milan but has reported for training with his commitment drawing praise from Potter.

The 47-year-old head coach said: "No, nothing to report. He's been training with us this week, conducted himself well. Really good professional. He has been supporting his teammates and while he is here, he is doing what he needs to do."
