Forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has departed Chelsea and joined French club Marseille. </p>
<p>
Marseille confirmed the signing of the 34-year-old Gabon international on Friday, which brings an end to his miserable time in west London. </p>
<p>
Aubameyang scored one goal in 15 Premier League appearances for the Blues and was left out of the squad for the Champions League knock-out stages by then boss Graham Potter in February. </p>
<p>
Aubameyang has previous experience in Ligue 1 having played for St Etienne for two years from 2011 and 2013 as well as loan spells with Dijon, Lille and Monaco. </p>
<p>
The former Arsenal striker joined Chelsea on a two-year contract from Barcelona last September in a deal that saw Marcos Alonso move in the other direction. </p>
<p>
But he struggled to settle following the departure of boss Thomas Tuchel and it became increasingly evident that his stay at Stamford Bridge would not be a long one. </p>
<p>
Aubameyang follows the likes of Kai Havertz and Mason Mount out of the club this summer while Romelu Lukaku - who preceded Aubameyang in the club's supposedly "cursed" number nine shirt - Hakim Ziyech and Callum Hudson-Odoi are all absent from the club's current pre-season tour of the United States. </p>
