Al Ettifaq are reportedly interested in a move for Chelsea striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The Saudi Pro League side, now managed by Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard, could offer the 33-year-old a summer route out of the Blues.

Since signing from Barcelona last summer, Aubameyang has scored just three goals in 21 appearances for Chelsea.

All of his strikes came in October, with his first against Crystal Palace and the other two both home and away to AC Milan.

Minutes on the pitch were lacking in the second half of the season, with his last appearance coming against Arsenal at the start of May.

Chelsea, now under Mauricio Pochettino, are currently having a mass exodus of stars ahead of the new campaign.

Aubameyang could be set to follow the eight already departed player, with The Telegraph reporting he is of interest to Al Ettifaq.

They finished seventh in the Saudi Pro League last season, with Gerrard ready to manage the third club of his career.

After stints at Aston Villa and Rangers, Al Ettifaq will present him with a very new challenge.

His chances of success in the Saudi Pro League could be boosted if Aubameyang signs, and he would be the latest forward to complete such a move.

After Cristiano Ronaldo moved to Al Nassr in January, fellow Real Madrid legend Karim Benzema signed for Al Ittihad.

Celtic’s Jota has also joined the club, with former Liverpool star Roberto Firmino now at Al Ahli.

Should Aubameyang leave Chelsea for Saudi Arabia, he would join the same league as three of his fellow Blues teammates.

N’Golo Kante, Kalidou Koulibaly and Edouard Mendy have all completed moves, with Hakim Ziyech also potentially heading the same way.
