Former Chelsea striker Tony Cascarino has urged Blues boss Graham Potter to offload Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Aubameyang sealed a stunning move to Stamford Bridge in the summer from Barcelona under former manager Thomas Tuchel.
The Gabonese forward's move to Chelsea saw him make a sensational return to the Premier League, barely six months after he had left when he swapped Arsenal for Barca.
However, the 33-year-old has struggled to live up to his billing at Stamford Bridge, having managed just three goals so far.

This completely contrasts his form during his short stint at Camp Nou, where he scored 11 goals in just 17 La Liga matches.
Tony Cascarino wants Auba offloaded
Cascarino has now called on Chelsea boss Potter to consider replacing Aubameyang as he is unreliable.
According to the legendary footballer, Auba isn't the perfect striker the club thought they had signed in the summer.
"I’m not even sure Aubameyang is a player Chelsea will be looking at into next season," Cascarino told talkSPORT.
"I think what will happen is what happened to him at Barcelona. They brought him to the club, got a big signing, then realised quite quickly they need to move away to a better striker.
