In an already active January transfer window, it looks like Chelsea will have something to do with Aubameyang to Arsenal:  - Giroud to Chelsea for 15million transfer fee  - Aubameyang to Arsenal for 55million transfer fee  - Batshuayi to Dortmund on loan from Chelsea Dortmund forcing the complicated deal as they only will sign off on Aubameyang only if ...
