Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang ‘likes’ post announcing Graham Potter’s Chelsea sacking after boss and striker’s rift

Aubameyang last featured in the 2-0 defeat to Tottenham in February and started just four Premier League games under Potter.
He was signed by former boss Thomas Tuchel and never really fit into Potter’s plans.
So when Chelsea announced the 47-year-old had been sacked on Instagram, Aubameyang ‘liked’ the post.
He has been left frustrated by his lack of game time in recent weeks, which included being left out of Chelsea’s Champions League squad for the knock-out stages.
Aubameyang, 33, was also omitted from the matchday squads against Leicester, Everton and Aston Villa after scoring just one Premier League goal for the Blues.
His future at the club is in doubt with Barcelona plotting his return, having sold the striker to Chelsea for £10million last summer.
Aubameyang appears keen on the switch after being spotted celebrating with his former team-mates following their El Classico win at the end of last month.
Barcelona reportedly like the idea of bringing Aubameyang back to the Nou Camp as a “low cost option” amid their financial issues.

Inter Milan are also interested in the Gabon international and Chelsea reportedly want to sell to them over Barca because they are not happy with the Spanish club’s attempts to lure him away.
But Aubameyang is believed to be holding out for Barcelona after scoring 11 goals in 17 LaLiga games for them last season.
