Frank Lampard wants to improve his attacking options heading into the 2020/21 campaign having had to rely on youngster Tammy Abraham this season, and with backup options Olivier Giroud and Michy Batshuayi failing to impress.

Aubameyang wants to play Champions League football – something Chelsea should be able to offer next season as they currently sit in the top four, three points ahead of Manchester United in fifth.

Arsenal could still offer Aubameyang fresh terms, though it has been suggested they must move quickly to get him tied down to an extended contract before this summer’s transfer window eventually opens.
