Barcelona are ready to sell Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang this summer, following Chelsea’s interest in the striker.

The Blues are said to be keen on the former Arsenal frontman to strengthen their front line having shipped off Romelu Lukaku back to Inter Milan.

Aubameyang only joined Barcelona seven months ago after the Gunners allowed him to leave in a free transfer.

But now he could seal a rapid move back to the Premier League with his old club’s London rivals, having fallen down the pecking order at the Nou Camp following the summer arrivals of Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha.

According to the Daily Mirror, Barcelona are willing to let him go, despite his decent record of 13 goals in 23 games for the Catalan club.

Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen, reportedly threatened to quit the national team and return to Turkey.

According to Arise News, Osimhen was left fuming following his altercation with Ademola Lookman during the 4-0 win over Mozambique at the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations on Monday.

Having scored a brace thanks to assists from Lookman, the 27-year-old lashed out at his team-mate for failing to pass to him in the 64th minute.

Osimhen then beckoned on the bench asking to be taken off, before he was replaced by Moses Simon.

At full time, Osimhen stormed out of the stadium and dropped his accreditation card, insisting he was “done” with the national team and wanted to fly back to Turkey.

He was then pacified by senior officials of the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF.
