Chelsea are reportedly firmly in the race to sign Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, whose contract at the Emirates expires next summer.

Chelsea have reportedly entered the race to sign Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The 30-year-old has been an integral part of Mikel Arteta's side this season but is out of contract at the Emirates in 2021 with no renewal said to be in sight.

As a result, speculation has been rife regarding the Gabon international's future, with Barcelona, Manchester United and Real Madrid all rumoured to be interested in the striker.

According to 90Min, Frank Lampard's side are now firmly in the running to sign Aubameyang, and the Gunners would prefer to cash in on the attacker rather than see him leave for free when his current deal runs out next summer.

The report also claims that Barca remain interested in the former Borussia Dortmund man, but the Catalan giants are said to be prioritising a move for Inter Milan's Lautaro Martinez.

Aubameyang has chalked up 61 goals in 96 games for Arsenal since his arrival in 2018.
