Finally some good news for Antonio Conte and Chelsea fans!

And it gets much better for the Stamford Bridge faithful, as it looks like Conte has looked to Germany to fill his striker void.

Aubameyang has made it clear that he wishes to leave Dortmund as he feels as if he has done what he set out to do at the club.
Aubameyang had to effectively replace the great Robert Lewandowski, so he must feel proud of what he has been able to accomplish with Dortmund. He was also the top goal scorer in the Bundesliga last season, outscoring Lewandowski himself.
So yes, Chelsea are close to getting a master marksman who would definitely be an upgrade over Lukaku. The Belgian is a star in the making but still has a long way to go, while Aubameyang is a proven goal scorer.
Be happy Chelsea fans!
