Chelsea played against Fulham on Friday evening in the first Premier League game of the weekend.

The pair played out a 0-0 stalemate and it was another frustrating day for Graham Potter and his team.

Sources: Three strikers on Chelsea’s radar for the summer!

But there was one noticeable absence from the squad that Potter had, with striker Pierre Emerick Aubameyang not even being named on the bench.

The striker has seemingly become hugely out of favour with Potter, enough so that he didn’t even want him in the squad.

Potter called it a tough call, and funnily enough, it also came on the same day that Aubameyang was taken out of Chelsea’s Champions League squad to make way for new signings. He was then spotted in Milan on that same evening.

The irony in this story continues, with Italian media now linking Aubameyang with a return to AC Milan in the summer and say that he is already looking for a new club.
