Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is 'the perfect option' for Chelsea this summer, according to Gabby Agbonlahor.
talkSPORT understands the Blues are on the verge of completing a deal for the Barcelona attacker in a deal that will see wing-back Marcos Alonso head in the opposite direction to the Nou Camp.

The attacker has enjoyed a fruitful time at the Nou Camp but looks set to return to the Premier League just eight months after leaving Arsenal
Should the move be completed, the 33-year-old would return to the Premier League just eight months after he left Arsenal under a dark cloud before joining the Catalan giants.
Since moving to LaLiga, Aubameyang has certainly hit the goal trail with 13 goals in 24 appearances for the club, and according to Ally McCoist, the attacker will prove to be a strong addition for Thomas Tuchel's side.
Speaking on talkSPORT Breakfast, McCoist said: "They certainly need a centre-forward, they need an out and out goalscorer.
"Sterling will certainly get them goals, but I just look at them against Southampton and I worry because with [Kai] Havertz and [Hakim] Ziyech, I don't think there's enough goals there.
"Romelu Lukaku didn't turn out to be the answer and they need a centre forward.
"Manchester City and Liverpool went out and got the two best that were available, but I think that Aubameyang will have something to prove.

"We know he'll score goals in the Premier League. He'll come back and he'll feel that he has something to prove so there'll be an added wee bit to him as well."
Agbonlahor added: There's no one out there for the future, so Aubameyang for a season or two is the perfect option for me."
