Chelsea striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is reportedly closing in on his move to Los Angeles FC on loan for the remainder of the season.
The 33-year-old has struggled to impress since his move to Chelsea last summer from Barcelona and his recent omission from Chelsea’s Champions League squad for the knockout stages added to uncertainty over his future at Stamford Bridge.
With the MLS transfer window open and the campaign set to get underway in February, the Stateside was the only destination for the former Arsenal talisman to consider as he has already played for both Chelsea and Barcelona this term.
According to a report from the French publication Le10 Sport, Chelsea have reached an agreement to loan Aubameyang to Los Angeles FC in a short-term loan deal with the player hoping to earn regular first team football during his time away from west London.
Chelsea snapped up five new attacking players in the January transfer window to bolster their front line and the incomings were all but certain to ensure a fall down the pecking order for the underfire Aubameyang.
