Barcelona could pull off a shock swoop and re-sign Chelsea outcast Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The Gabon striker thrived during his six month stay with the Catalan giants last season.

However, he then left for regular game time at Chelsea in the summer after Barca secured Robert Lewandowski.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Barca want to bring the 35-year-old back to the club as cover for the Polish striker.

Aubameyang would likely be available on a free transfer, as he is not in Chelsea's plans.

The club would be happy to get his wages off the books, while Barca could secure him on a modest deal given his reduced playing time.
