Chelsea bosses have reportedly contacted summer signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang with assurances that he remains in their plans even after the sacking of Thomas Tuchel as manager.
The German strategist was sacked yesterday in a surprise announcement from Chelsea, with Aubameyang playing just one game for his new club under his former manager at Borussia Dortmund.
Tuchel was seen as having been important in bringing Aubameyang to Stamford Bridge, but key figures at Chelsea reportedly assured Aubameyang that he was a signing from the club, not the outgoing manager, according to the Telegraph.
The Gabon international should still have a big role for Chelsea, as the club loaned Romelu Lukaku to Inter Milan earlier in the summer.

Lukaku’s poor form at Bridge last season showed Chelsea need a proven goalscorer, and it looks like Aubameyang could be ideal.
The former Arsenal striker has previously shone in the Premier League, while also having a fine spell at Barcelona before his late move to CFC this summer.
