Chelsea news as Frank Lampard's return to the club could revive Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's career at Stamford Bridge
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been dealt a boost in his Chelsea career following Frank Lampard's appointment as caretaker manager. The striker faces an increasingly uncertain future at Stamford Bridge after only signing for the Blues in the summer.
Lampard was confirmed as Potter's replacement until the end of the season on Thursday and after insisting that every player with 'have a clean slate', the club legend could revive the striker's troubling period in west London.
Back in 2020, during his first spell in charge, it was reported by The Athletic that Lampard was keen on bringing the striker to Stamford Bridge during his contract dilemma with Arsenal. However, his hopes of bolstering his attack with Aubameyang were quickly rebuffed by the board, with Timo Werner instead signed.
An impressive run of displays could force the club to rethink the striker's situation for the 2023/24 season. It's been said that he would 'love' a return to Barcelona in the summer despite the Spanish side's dire financial struggles.
