Chelsea are convinced signing Barcelona striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The Telegraph says Chelsea feel optimistic about signing Aubameyang from Barcelona in the coming days.

Barca have to offload some players in order to register their new signings, and are willing to sell Aubameyang.

The Blues are on the hunt for a new striker as they look to challenge for the title.

Their need for a new attacker's been exacerbated by the imminent exit of Timo Werner.

And Chelsea are hopeful of striking a deal this week.
