Chelsea set to complete seventh signing as player agrees contract terms.

Chelsea are not done yet, and mean serious business this window.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang could be edging closer to an exit from Barcelona, with SPORT reporting that the 33-year-old striker has approved a three-year contract offer from Chelsea.

The Blues have been pushing hard to sign Aubameyang from Barça and have been in talks with the club as well as the striker’s camp over a transfer before the transfer window closes.

Chelsea are said to have tabled an offer worth €18 million plus Marcos Alonso to sign the former Arsenal captain. However, the proposal does not appeal to the Catalan giants, who do not want the left-back as part of the deal.

So, talks between the two clubs are still progressing over an agreement for the transfer. But, things seem to be going much more smoothly with regard to negotiations with Aubameyang.

As reported by SPORT, Chelsea have tabled a three-year contract offer for the 33-year-old striker which would see him earn more than what he currently does at Barcelona. And Aubameyang is believed to have given his green light to the contract proposal.

Personal terms between Chelsea and the Gabonese striker seem to be sorted and the deal is now subject to the Blues agreeing a transfer fee with Barcelona.

With the Catalans in need of registering Jules Kounde, there is a sense of urgency to complete the departure of Aubameyang. Chelsea, too, are in a hurry to complete the deal as there is not much time left in the window and they do not have a proper striker to lead the line.

There is a strong chance that the two clubs reach middle ground in negotiations imminently.

Graham Potter has succeeded in these three areas where Tuchel failed.

OPINION: Graham Potter has succeeded in these three areas where Tuchel failed. The Blues were back in Premier League action on Saturday, and had sealed a 3-0 victory over Wolves at the Bridge. The game had seen goals come from the Blues' attacking options, something which had rarely been seen in the Tuchel era. Not just that, there were noticeable changes and improvement in team set up that were not seen under the former German Boss. All of which will be highlighted below. Firstly, the handing of debut to Chelsea's signing, Carney Chukwuemeka. Graham Potter's choice to hand one of his starlets a debut demonstrates the trust that he has in the young players at Stamford Bridge that can help him through a tricky run. It's harder than it seems to just trust the youth though. Tuchel struggled to fully implement the pathway desired and was always focused on the here and now, the short term. He felt warmth with experience. Potter already looks to have brough...
