PIERS MORGAN has admitted to being left bewildered by Thomas Tuchel’s comments on Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Aubameyang completed a £10million deadline day transfer to Chelsea from Barcelona.
And following the transfer, Chelsea boss Tuchel said: “He (Aubameyang) has a little problem with his time (keeping), but he also never misses a meeting.
“There’s no major concern. He has a good heart, he’s a top character.”
The 33-year-old forward was at the centre of a number of disciplinary issues while at Arsenal, eventually being stripped of the captaincy late last year following a “disciplinary breach.”
The behind-the-scenes All or Nothing: Arsenal series further condemned Aubameyang, with Mikel Arteta revealing he had a dossier of his former captain’s “misdemeanours.”

In response to Tuchel’s comments, Arsenal fan Morgan bemoaned the contrasting character references.
He said: “I’m so confused.
“I thought he was a managerial nightmare and horribly disruptive influence?”
Last month Morgan pinned The Gunner’s failure to get top four on Arteta’s decision to freeze out and sell Aubameyang to Barcelona in January.

The SunSport columnist also accused Pep Guardiola’s former assistant of trying to “humiliate” Aubameyang.
Aubameyang enjoyed great success at the beginning of his Arsenal career, before suffering a loss of form across the final 18 months of his time with the club.
During his half a season career with Barcelona Aubameyang refound his scoring touch, contributing 11 goals in 17 La Liga appearances.
