Chelsea flop Aubameyang agrees shock transfer to ‘Arsenal retirement home’ as fans stunned by contract length

PIERRE-EMERICK AUBAMEYANG has reportedly agreed a deal to join Marseille.

The striker is out of favour at Chelsea and had been expected to leave the club this summer.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has agreed a deal to join Marseille

He made just 15 Premier League appearances for the Blues after joining last year, scoring once.

And now he has agreed a three-year contract with Marseille, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Chelsea are keen to sell and that means agreeing a fee will reportedly be relatively straightforward.

Arsenal fans have ridiculed the proposed move and labelled Marseille a “retirement home” for former Gooners.

Former Arsenal stars Alexis Sanchez and Matteo Guendouzi play for the Ligue Un club while Nuno Tavares spent last season on loan there.

Ex-Gooner Sead Kolasinac also had a year at Marseille before leaving this summer.

One fan commented on Aubameyang’s deal saying: “Where former Arsenal players go to retire…”

Another added: “Wow.. from Alexis to Aubameyang… Marseille and finished players
?

A third wrote: “Is this the new arsenal retirement home?”

And another remarked: “People still want Auba for three years.”
