Liverpool 'to rival Chelsea for Aubameyang'

Liverpool will battle Chelsea for the signature of £65million-rated Borussia Dortmund star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang this summer.

That is according to The Sun, who say the Gabonese striker will be the subject of a tug of war between the Premier League giants.

Both clubs have reportedly made contact with Dortmund but it is the Reds that are apparently in pole position.

Aubameyang, 28, played under Anfield boss Jurgen Klopp at the Westfalenstadion and has scored 85 times in 128 Bundesliga appearances for BVB.
