Reports have claimed that Chelsea have reached an agreement with Los Angeles FC over the loan of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
According to LE10 Sport, the forward is set to make the move to the MLS despite the transfer window being shut in Europe.
The striker has fallen heavily out of favour just months after making a deadline day move to Stamford Bridge to reunite with Thomas Tuchel.
It was perhaps a sign of things to come when his time with his former manager came to an end after just one game, with that being an embarrassing defeat in the Champions League.
The European competition has actually seen the best of the former Arsenal and Barcelona man in a Chelsea shirt.
He scored twice in the group stage against AC Milan to help the Blues turn around what at one point looked a difficult situation to be in.
Aubameyang loan deal agreed
However, things have since taken a massive turn. So much so, that he was left out of the knockout squad for the competition in order to register a new signing.
This reportedly left him shocked, but now it seems as if it could be the beginning of the end of his Chelsea career.
LE10 Sport have claimed that a deal for him to move to LAFC is in the final stages, with their season set to start in the coming weeks.
Coming in on a hefty £160k-a-week wage, the signing of Aubameyang is set to go down as the first of what could be multiple failed additions in the Todd Boehly era.
The striker position is one which is certainly going to need addressing at the end of the season, despite the upcoming addition of Christopher Nkunku to bolster the attacking options for future campaigns.
