Former Chelsea striker Chris Sutton accepts Aubameyang might have played his last game for the club after his showing against Manchester City.

He told the BBC after the game:
“Aubameyang appeared as though he would have rather not been here tonight.”
Sutton proceeded:
“I puzzle over whether Graham Potter is thinking, how might I play Aubameyang again in a Chelsea pullover after how sad he was. I’m dependably careful to scrutinize players for absence of exertion or unfortunate non-verbal communication yet Aubameyang totally exemplified that.”
The former Blues frontman claims that the Gabonese forward looked impartial and may need to stress over his future in the team:
“I thought he was sad and sad and didn’t give remotely close to enough. He looked unbiased and I suspect Graham Potter will think, blimey, he is at absolutely no point ever going to play in a Chelsea pullover in the future under me.”

He showed up at Stamford Bridge with the west London goliaths needing goals and a focal striker.
