I will contact Arsenal's Aubameyang, says Chelsea's Tuchel
Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel spoke ahead of his team's Premier League match against Everton on Thursday.
Chelsea are five points behind the leaders Manchester City, but have a game in hand. Tuchel covered subjects including his former player at Borussia Dortmund - Pierre Emerick Aubameyang - who has lost the captaincy at Arsenal, the loan of Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher and the contract situation of players including Anthony Rudiger.
He said: "I will at some point (talk to Pierre Emerick Aubaneyang), but also I don't want to disturb him. He was a very important player for me, and we had a very close relationship until today, and when we meet it is always very, very nice. I can only say the best things about Auba as a person and a player. I am sorry to see him in trouble, because that is not a place he should be considering his qualities and the positive character that he has, and I still believe in this. But I am not involved in what is going on at the club he is at now, and for this, I want to show my respect and not be involved in judging what is right and wrong, I just have my picture and my relationship with Auba and that is not affected by that."
