"I think Aubameyang's career is over, he's finished"

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang came on in the first half of the match between Chelsea and Manchester City, but manager Graham Potter decided to take him off in the second half. The Gabonese expressed his annoyance on the bench.

This fact did not take long to spread to the networks and the media. One example of this was Paul Merson, former England and Arsenal player, who slammed the African striker in his column for 'Sky Sports'.

"Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was substituted after coming on as a substitute in the first game against City and I believe he will now be transferred," he posted.

"I think it's the end of this player as he's past the age of 30," he added. Moreover, Merson himself stated that the former Barca player's career "is over".
