BREAKING News: Chelsea sign Aubameyang from Barcelona as Defender pens seven year deal with Chelsea
BREAKING: Chelsea has signed Aubameyang from Barcelona on a seven-year contract.
Chelsea completed the signing of Pierre Emerick Aubameyang from Barcelona just before the transfer deadline.
The deal had been in the works for a while, but it appeared to be on hold as recently as 48 hours ago. However, the transaction was eventually completed by upper management from both teams.
It is essentially a part-exchange arrangement for Marcos Alonso, whose contract has reportedly been cancelled so that he may join Barcelona later.
Chelsea, on the other hand, is paying around £12 million to bring former Arsenal striker Aubameyang back to the Premier League.
After Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner left, there was a clear desire to sign attacking talent and bring goals to the team, so we can only hope that Auba does a better job than them.
He's old, but hopefully golden.
Chelsea's defender signs a seven-year contract.
Wesley Fofana, Chelsea's newest defender and a France international, has signed a seven-year contract at Stamford Bridge.
The young defender, who is regarded as one of the top prospects for the future, joined Chelsea from Leicester City this summer.
Fofana is Chelsea's third signing, following Kalidou Koulibaly from Napoli and Marc Cucurella from Brighton.

'Wesley is a hugely promising defender who has already proven his quality in the Premier League at a young age,' said Chelsea chairman Todd Boehly in response to Fofana's move to the club. We are thrilled to have brought one of Europe's most exciting talents to Chelsea and to have strengthened that area of our squad for this season and many more to come.'
Fofana is expected to make his Blues debut this weekend against West Ham United in the Premier League.
In preparation for the game, he has joined the rest of the Blues squad in training.
