Aubameyang's Chelsea career is apparently over before it even really began.
arrived at Stamford Bridge at the very end of the summer transfer window with Potter’s predecessor Thomas Tuchel pushing for his transfer.He was brought on as a substitute against Manchester City last week, only to be taken off later in the same game, and Merson believes Potter effectively ended the Gabon international’s career at Chelsea by breaking an “unwritten rule”.
“Maybe you can get away with it with a younger player, but in football it’s one of those unwritten rules. It’s a don’t-do. But Potter did it with him at 33 and, for me, I think he’s done. It’s an example of why recruitment is such a big problem for Chelsea. “But if you do that January business and, all of a sudden, Potter goes a week or two later, then another manager will come in and say, ‘Well, I don’t like him, I didn’t want him.’ That’s what’s happened with Aubameyang.
