Chelsea fans on Twitter were left stunned after a report emerged that Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang wanted to leave Arsenal for their London rivals in January.
The Daily Mail has claimed that a deal didn’t happen because the Arsenal man’s high wages could not be met by the Stamford Bridge club.
For some, this would be a coincidence that this transfer rumour emerged before Arsenal and Chelsea clashed in their FA Cup final showdown on Saturday – Aubameyang’s brace helped his team lift the trophy.
One thing is for sure, Aubameyang’s future in North London is up in the air, with his current deal due to expire next summer.
Either the Gabon striker pens down a new contract, he ends up leaving on a free next summer, or Arsenal cash-in on their man during this current transfer window.
But the rumours that Chelsea seemingly came in for him is of a surprise, which has no doubt divided opinion.
Arsenal players in the past have made the switch to Stamford Bridge, but if anything happened here then it would have no doubt caused absolute chaos.
Nonetheless, here is a selection of Chelsea fans reacting to those Aubameyang rumours:
