Meanwhile, the London giants have submitted an offer to sign a Barcelona forward. Elsewhere, Blues manager Thomas Tuchel has opened up on his row with Spurs manager Antonio Conte during the game on Sunday.
On that note, here’s a look at the key Chelsea transfer stories as on August 15, 2022:
Chelsea submit offer for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
Chelsea have submitted a player-plus-cash offer to sign Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, according to Futbol Total via The Hard Tackle.
The Gabon international has been a target for Tuchel this summer, with the German manager eager to sign a new striker to lead the line. Tuchel has his eyes on Aubameyang, having already managed him at Borussia Dortmund.
The Blues have offered the Blaugrana €6 million plus Marcos Alonso and Michy Batshuayi for the 33-year-old. The player is likely to struggle for chances at the Camp Nou after the arrival of Robert Lewandowski, so a move could suit Aubameyang.
The London giants’ offer could also appeal to the Blaugrana, as they’re interested in Alonso.
Thomas Tuchel opens up on row with Antonio Conte
Thomas Tuchel refused to dwell on his touchline spat with Antonio Conte. The two managers clashed during the London Derby on Sunday and also had a row at the end of 90 minutes.
Speaking after the draw, Tuchel said that it was all part of the game.
He continued:
Both managers were handed marching orders at the end of the game and now face a one-match touchline ban.
Kalidou Koulibaly happy to score on Stamford Bridge debut
Kalidou Koulibaly is delighted to score his first goal for Chelsea against Tottenham on Sunday. The Senegalese has adjusted well to life in London since arriving from Napoli this summer.
Koulibaly showed he could be an asset at the other end of the park with a superb strike on his home debut on Sunday. Speaking after the game, the Senegalese said that he wants to continue his good run in front of goal.
Koulibaly believes the Blues deserved more from the game and remains hopeful of improving as a unit.
He added:
Koulibaly has started both games for the London giants this season.
