Aubameyang, one of the best strikers in the world right now, recently made a statement in public that he wants to leave Borussia Dortmund in the summer as he feels that this is the right time for him to play at the next level.
After such a big claim, the Gabon international is likely to be the centre of attention in the summer. One of the fastest players in the world and someone who has scored 30+ goals for fun in the past few seasons, he can be the ideal the replacement of Diego Costa up front.

Just like Costa, Aubameyang is a complete forward and proven in Europe. In just 166 games for Borussia Dortmund, he has scored 100 goals already, while setting up 32 which is a huge figure for a number nine. He would do really well in Conte’s system where the striker operates from a deeper position and initiates the attack on his own.
His pace is an asset which would make Chelsea deadly on the break. If Costa stays and Aubameyang joins Chelsea, it will be nothing short of a nightmare for opposition defenders.
