But the Gabonese attacker spoke candidly after a supporter wrote a heartfelt post about him.

“You know sometimes people forget what’s the real life and forget about how you can’t control what’s happened.

Chelsea's mass exodus

It comes after the news that Chelsea face an increasingly tough task to clear out all of their unwanted players in the upcoming windows.

It is thought that the club may be forced to give the likes of Aubameyang away on a free transfer in a bid to lower their wage bill, reports the Telegraph.

The paper also lists several suitors for Aubameyang - such as European giants like Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and AC Milan.

But each of these sides are unlikely to pay a fee for the ageing star, who is approaching 34.

The Blues purchased Aubameyang for around £12 million from Barcelona last summer, with the attacker signing a two-year deal.

The former Gunners man was substituted at half-time by Frank Lampard, in what was his first start for six months.

He had rejected a move to Los Angeles FC in January and now it looks like he could be on his way out of the door at Stamford Bridge on a free in the upcoming window.
