Chelsea striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang ‘being eyed by several Spanish clubs’ as Joao Felix loan transfer edges closer

CHELSEA star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is reportedly attracting interest from clubs in Spain.

The Gabon striker joined the Blues in the summer but has failed to find his best form for the club.

He has struggled for regular game time at Stamford Bridge since his arrival.

Aubameyang has played nine times in the Premier League, scoring just once.

It has been a disappointment for the club as there had been hope he would continue the fine form he showed at Barcelona in a six-month spell at the end of last season.

In just 18 starts for the Catalonian side he scored 13 goals.

And his pathway to the pitch could be further blocked when complete the loan signing of Atletico Madrid star Joao Felix.

Aubameyang missed the side's defeat to Manchester City in the FA Cup after hurting his back, but is expected to be fit for the next game on Saturday.

However, he could find a way out of the club without playing much more football in the Blues shirt.

The 33-year-old is being eyed up by several clubs in LaLiga, including Atletico, according to the .

The capital club could be viewing the former Arsenal captain as a replacement for Felix should he leave the Metropolitano Stadium this month.

However, whether or not Chelsea would be willing to let him leave would be another thing.

Aubameyang is one of the club's only senior strikers as Romelu Lukaku is on loan and Armando Broja is out for the long-term with an injury.

There is new boy David Datro Fofana, but it remains to be seen whether he will be handed a first-team role.
