Chelsea are a step away from reaching a deal with Borussia Dortmund over striker Pierre Emerick Aubameyang. The Gabon hitman could ove to the Blues for 65 million pounds - around 74m euros, per English media.

Aubameyang is Antonio Conte's chosen striker after the club failed to capture Romelu Lukaku who was the first choice. Diego Costa, meanwhile, is poised to return to Atletico Madrid. 

Conte's second option was Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata. However Real Madrid want between 80 and 90 million euros for him, which is off-putting.

 

Dortmund, meanwhile, are considering a move for Arsenal's Olivier Giroud to replace him.
