Out of Favor Chelsea attacker on the verge of sealing MLS move
According to a recent report from Le 10 sport, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s time at Arsenal Football Club could be coming to an end.
The experienced striker has fallen down the pecking order at the Emirates and was recently left out of the club’s UEFA Champions League squad. This decision has reportedly left the 33-year-old player disappointed and eager for a change of scenery.
Major League Soccer’s Los Angeles FC is said to be his next destination, with the club reportedly securing an agreement with Chelsea for the striker on loan. This move will allow the Gunners to relieve some of their wage bill for the rest of the season, as Aubameyang earns €9 million per year.
Aubameyang’s dip in form since his return to the Premier League from Barcelona has not gone unnoticed, and he has been linked with a return to Spain in recent weeks. The move to LAFC provides him with an opportunity to revitalize his career with regular playing time.
It remains to be seen if the loan move will turn into a permanent transfer, but the former Arsenal captain remains a quality player on his day and could have a significant impact at LAFC.
The decision from Chelsea to let him leave could also raise questions about their transfer strategy and whether they will look to bring in a new striker at the end of the season.
