BARCELONA manager, Xavi Hernandez has made it clear to suitors and admirers that he won’t be letting go of Pierre Emerick Aubameyang at the club this season

Pierre Emerick Aubameyang  who joined Barcelona in January this year has been subjected to interest from Premier League club, Chelsea, as his former boss, Thomas Tuchel, sees him as a striker option.

But Xavi made it very clear in a press conference before the league opener against Rayo Vallecano that he was still in need of the player.

“I’m counting on him. I like Auba, he can help us on the pitch. He is valuable because of his work rate, he is very humble and I am delighted with him,” Xavi said.

The 33-year-old Gabonese was an integral part of Barcelona return to the top 4 last season scoring 10+ goals last season for the Catalans.
