Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang could come out of international retirement following a request from the president of Gabon.

 


There may be hope for Aubameyang, who is considering reconsidering his decision to retire from international football, despite a dismal club season for Chelsea. The Gabonese striker met with Ali Bongo Ondimba, the president of the nation, who is seeking to persuade Aubameyang to come out of retirement, according to the Daily Mail.

According to the article, the 33-year-old forward and his family have a good relationship with the president. The forward is reportedly'seriously considering' making a comeback for the national team, for which he scored 30 goals in 72 appearances.

Gabon are looking to secure their place at the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations, which Aubameyang could play a part in if he is to return to international action.

AND WHAT'S MORE: The 33-year-old signed for Chelsea last summer following a short but sweet spell with Barcelona, but has largely underwhelmed. Thomas Tuchel was sacked shortly after Aubameyang arrived at the club, with the striker failing to find his feet or nail down a place in the squad under Graham Potter. He was given a rare start against former club Arsenal by interim boss Frank Lampard, but was hooked after 45 minutes.While the focus is most probably on finding a new club in the summer, the veteran forward can look forward to perhaps turning out for his country in the Ivory Coast if they qualify for AFCON in January.

Christian Pulisic Drawing Interest of AC Milan, Napoli, Juventus

WIN OUR $5 BTC TOKENS It is not up for debate anymore whether or not Christian Pulisic should leave Chelsea FC. The debate to be had now is where he should go. Pulisic went an unused substitute in the Blues win this past weekend, after having been left out of the team entirely the week before.   As we wrote last week, if Pulisic never plays for Chelsea again that would be just fine. So where can he go? The American is being strongly linked to Italy’s Serie A.  As you can see from the Tweet above, a former Chelsea forward who made the switch to AC Milan believes that his current side is the perfect place for Capt. America to go. “I think everyone would like it. He’s a big name in Europe, so that would help us,” said Giroud, who played with Pulisic at Chelsea. He is that kind of player with great skills, with great talent. He is a cheerful boy, always smiling. We laughed a lot with him. Our understanding on the pitch was also excellent, a bit like with Eden Hazard, ...

This occurs as questions remain about Mount's future with the club. The English midfielder is thought to be a target for Pochettino because he sees him as a potential crucial member of his team.

Chelsea transfer news: Barcelona can help Chelsea's transfer efforts this summer, especially when it comes to landing a striker

Finding methods to help Chelsea's goal-scoring problems is their top focus going into the summer transfer season. The next head coach will have a significant task to tackle once they are appointed because there are issues with both opportunity generation and finishing. Mauricio Pochettino is the undisputed favorite at this point in the game.London is aware that the former Tottenham manager is getting closer to accepting the position but has not yet done so. The lengthy wait is due to the hierarchy's use of a careful process to choose their next hire. Interim manager Frank Lampard has taken charge of the squad until the end of the season, allowing for a clean slate for the manager-in-waiting. With just one win in his tenure so far, the former midfielder was quite frank in his assessment of the assessment, saying last month: "Is there an issue with the balance of the squad? Maybe, yeah." As the club starts to plan for the future, it implies that some squad players who a...
