Playing For Chelsea Was My Biggest Mistake In Football – Aubameyang

Gabonese star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has revealed that his time at Chelsea was the biggest mistake of his football career.

Aubameyang joined the Blues in September 2022 for £10.3 million from Barcelona.

In an interview with Canal+, the Gabonese striker stated that he moved to Chelsea in the hope of reuniting with Thomas Tuchel. “That was a big mistake going there. It was a f*****g big mistake,” he admitted.

“At that time, I was going through a difficult phase at Barcelona. I experienced a break-in at home, and Barcelona needed to sell a player—either me or Memphis Depay. The only offer on the table was from Chelsea, so I thought, for my family’s sake, I would move, even if it was to Chelsea.

“I was thinking it might be alright; Olivier Giroud went from Arsenal to Chelsea and had no issues, but for me, it was different.”
