Arsenal news, exclusives and analysis
Aubameyang and Tuchel worked together at Borussia Dortmund and reunited at Stamford Bridge after Chelsea confirmed the signing of the 33-year-old striker on deadline day, but it lasted less than a week as the Blues sacked the German boss.
The Gabon international made his debut in the 1-0 Champions League defeat to Dinamo Zagreb Tuesday – joining Chelsea from Barcelona on a two-year deal for around £10m plus Marcos Alonso – who headed in the opposite direction.
Aubameyang only moved to Barcelona back in January following a controversial exit from the Emirates in which he fell out with boss Mikel Arteta and was stripped of the club’s captaincy over disciplinary issues, but has now arrived back in London.
He was forced to wear a face mask on Tuesday night due to a broken jaw he sustained when his home was recently broken into and had several half chances to score against Zagreb, also putting the ball in the back of the net, only for the linesman’s flag to be raised.
However, Aubameyang was subbed off after just 59 minutes, and Tuchel refused to comment on his performance after his side’s loss in Croatia.
‘I will not talk about individuals today,’ Tuchel said in the final press conference before his sacking. ‘We play as a team, we lose as a team. That’s what it is.’
ð¨ Here’s what Thomas Tuchel said when facing the media for the LAST time before his sacking…

Gunners boss Arteta recently wished Aubameyang luck at Chelsea, despite their high-profile falling out which was shown on the recent Amazon documentary All or Nothing: Arsenal.
‘I’m sure he’s made that decision [to return to England] because he wants to change again and find the best possible for his future, and we here wish him the best of luck,’ Arteta said.
But Gunners fans have not been so kind and took to social media on Wednesday to mock Aubameyang, who scored 92 goals across 163 games for Arsenal and helped them win the FA Cup, after news landed that Tuchel had been sacked.

âAfter the session I got home and I told my family and my agent ‘can you not rip up the contract to go back to Arsenal?’. They laughed, I told them there’s something that doesn’t sit right, it doesn’t seem good.â
