Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is just as excited as Chelsea fans ahead of his impending transfer to Stamford Bridge.
The club have agreed a move worth under than £12million in cash plus Marcos Alonso for Aubameyang to join Thomas Tuchel this summer, becoming an important cog in Todd Boehly's transfer activity this summer.
The Barcelona forward has been the centre of talks between the clubs for several weeks for Chelsea finally reaching a conclusion with the Catalan side to bring in the 33-year-old. He has since arrived in London ahead of an expected announcement.

Upon arriving in the capital Aubameyang was greeted by reporters and delivered an enticing message to the fans that will be hoping they will see a second-stage to the previous Aubameyang/Tuchel relationship which sparked at Borussia Dortmund. After getting out of his taxi, Aubameyang said, "I'm back."
Having already won a Premier League golden boot in his time at London rivals Arsenal, Aubameyang went on to say that "it's nice" to be linking up with Tuchel again and that he was looking forward to the challenge. He is now tasked with getting the Chelsea side firing after two losses and just five goals in the opening six games, with Raheem Sterling the only attacker to have scored so far this season.
Aubameyang will join Chelsea on an expected two-year deal with an option for a third season.
