Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang makes 'strange' Thomas Tuchel Chelsea comment ahead of Wolves

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has once again reflected on the 'strange' situation surrounding Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea sacking.

The striker, who has netted twice in his last two games heading into Wolves, was signed under Tuchel who requested a late striker signing after both Timo Werner and Romelu Lukaku were allowed to leave for ventures new.

Despite only having a brief stint at Barcelona, the 33-year-old had a point to prove back in England following his infamous bust-up which was showcased during the Arsenal Amazon All or Nothing Documentary with Mikel Arteta.

Now being back in London with Arsenal's arch-rivals, Aubameyang has extra incentive to perform at his highest level but that will not be harnessed under Tuchel who was sacked after the Dinamo Zagreb loss.

Chelsea's new number 9, who opened up recently on the so-called 'curse', only played one game under his good pal in Tuchel and despite admitting he wasn't surprised at the decision due to the nature of the footballing world, he did open up on the 'strange' feeling of seeing a trusted ally leave prematurely and most importantly, unexpectedly in the eyes of the £11million man.

He told BBC Sport: "Yes, It definitely is a bit strange but now I'm a long-time in the business, so I know how football works.

"This can be part of football. Obviously, I find it a bit strange, I'm a human so it is what it is but now we focus on getting to the top and I think this is the main target now.

"We have a new coach now with a really clear idea. Really positive as well, so we focus on that and I'm looking forward to that."

Aubameyang then went into Potter's philosophy a little more later in the interview: "The first thing I will say is that he wants to form a real group with the togetherness. I think this is the main thing and it's a process. You will say you do or you don't trust him and you will be a part of it.

"This is just normal and that is what he wants from us, that we are together and he wants us to believe that we are a really good team. Obviously, we have a lot of talent in the team and we just have to believe in and we will see what happens."
