Chelsea have completed the signing of Barcelona striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang before the transfer window closes, according to a press release from the Premier League club..

The French-born footballer who played for the Gabon national team has signed a two-year contract..

It is worth noting that as part of the exchange, Spanish defender Marcos Alonso was supposed to go to Barcelona, \u200b\u200bbut the clubs did not have time to submit documents to La Liga. As a result, Chelsea terminated the contract with a player who will go to Catalonia already in the status of a free agent..

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, 33, joined Barcelona from Arsenal in February.. The striker made 17 appearances last season in La Liga and scored 11 goals.. Barca have agreed to part ways with the striker after signing Bayern's star scorer Robert Lewandowski.
