Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is closing to a move to the MLS.
Signed by Thomas Tuchel just before the German was sacked, the former Arsenal striker has endured a tough time in West London, and was struggling for game time, even before the arrival of all the January signings at the club.
He has managed just three goals in 17 appearances for the Blues.
And when he was dropped from their Champions League squad to make way for Joāo Felix, Mykhailo Mudryk and Enzo Fernandez, his prospects took a further blow.
Now he is on the verge of joining MLS side Los Angeles FC for the remainder of the season.
Los Angeles won the MLS Cup for the first time in their history last November, beating Philadelphia Union in the final on a penalty shoot-out in what turned out to be Gareth Bale’s last club game.
Andy is an exiled English football fan living in Cyprus. He loves all sports but football is his abiding passion, and he still has dreams every now and then about scoring the winning goal in a Wembley Cup Final, even though his playing days are long gone. He follows most major leagues, across Europe at least, and has a favoured team in each. When he’s not watching, listening, reading or downloading podcasts about football, he spend his time worrying about his beloved Arsenal.
