Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang: Chelsea agree deal with Barcelona ... (Sky Sports)

Chelsea agree deal to sign Barcelona striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in a move that will see Marcos Alonso go the other way; Gabon international joined ...

Chelsea have been struggling with an age-old issue during the German's tenure - converting chances. Sky Sports News reported early on Deadline Day that Chelsea were closing in on an agreement with Barcelona for Aubameyang. That partnership ended when Dortmund sacked Tuchel at the end of the 2016/17 season and Aubameyang joined Arsenal in the winter window of 2018 for a then-club-record £60m - hitting the ground running with 10 league goals in just 12 starts. Aubameyang has been given permission to fly to the UK for his medical and to finalise the deal, with personal terms not expected to be a problem. While the Gabon international created headlines for the right and wrong reasons during his time at Arsenal, Aubameyang simply produced goals at Borussia Dortmund under Tuchel - with 56 Bundesliga goals in 63 appearances across two campaigns. Chelsea agree deal to sign Barcelona striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in a move that will see Marcos Alonso go the other way; Gabon international joined Barcelona from Arsenal in January; Chelsea have loaned Romelu Lukaku to Inter Milan and sold Timo Werner to RB Leipzig this summer

Fernando Alonso apologises to Lewis Hamilton for 'idiot' jibe (ESPN)

Fernando Alonso said the "heat of the moment" comments he made about Lewis Hamilton at the Belgian Grand Prix have been blown out of proportion and did not ...

"When we are doing the TV pen I will approach him and say sorry if he understood in that way. "I don't think that it was much to blame in that moment looking at the replays to be honest, because it was a first-lap incident and we are close together. In that moment you say something to your teammate or whatever, and in that moment it's not broadcasted. And then something happens and you say something to your mate. After seeing the replays, Alonso said he did not blame Hamilton and instead accepted the stewards' decision that it was a first lap racing incident. "No, I don't believe [that he can only drive and start in first]," he said.
