It’s been a transfer window full of surprises, and Atletico could be set to carry on this trend. Reports in the British media claim Atletico Madrid are hoping to sign Gabon international Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The Gabon international only joined Chelsea from Barcelona in 2022 for 12 million euros and his contract runs to June 2024.

In 16 appearances for Chelsea, Aubameyang has managed to score three goals, and create one goal for his teammates.

The 33-year-old is the best football player in Gabon. His record for Gabon is impressive. Aubameyang has scored 30 goals in 73 matches for Gabon at senior level.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is one of the more likely players to be offloaded by Chelsea this winter and the list of suitors in the Gabon international continues to grow.

Adding a striker remains Atletico Madrid’s top priority this winter and Diego Simeone will have drafted a shortlist of a number of possible targets he could approach in the coming days.

Someone with Aubameyang’s skillset and potential will no doubt be an excellent signing for Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone.

The Spanish giants are desperate to make an impact in the winter transfer window.

The former Barcelona man is a dynamic striker, who possesses good technical skills and ball control. His finishing abilities when in and around the box will come as a massive asset to Diego Simeone’s side.
