Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is BACK in the Premier League as Chelsea confirm £12m player-plus-cash deal - which sees Marcos Alonso head to Barcelona - for the ex-Arsenal forward on deadline day... helping top-flight spending exceed £2BILLION this summer

Chelsea confirmed the signing of Barcelona forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in a deal worth £12m plus left back Marcos Alonso, late on Thursday night.

The move marks a return to England for Aubameyang, who only moved to the Nou Camp in February on a free after his exit from Arsenal, and will see him reunite with boss Thomas Tuchel.

Aubameyang will join Raheem Sterling, Kalidou Koulibaly, Marc Cucurella, Carney Chukwuemeka and Wesley Fofana at Chelsea after new owner Todd Boehly splashed out £280m this summer.
