PIERRE-EMERICK AUBAMEYANG has arrived in London to complete a £12million Chelsea transfer with Marcos Alonso set to go the other way.
The Blues agreed a deal with Barcelona for the forward Aubameyang, who has worked with Tuchel previously at Borussia Dortmund.
And Sky Sports footage shows Aubameyang, 33, has arrived in England in order to complete the deal.
The video shows the ex-Arsenal striker getting out of a taxi in the capital with his representatives.
The Blues are proposing a two-year contract for Aubameyang with the option for a third.
But the extension depends on the player’s performances during the second year of his contract.

All parties are confident of finalising the move before the transfer window slams shut on Thursday evening.
The Blues have been in the market for a forward following the departures of Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner and have finally got the man they wanted.
Academy product Armando Broja is the only recognised striker in Thomas Tuchel’s first team but Kai Havertz is preferred to lead the line.
A move to London may suit the Aubameyang family after their Catalonia home was broken into at the weekend.

Aubameyang was smashed on the chin with an iron bar, breaking his jaw, while trying to protect his wife and two children from the robbers.
He is set to be out of action for a number of weeks and could potentially undergo surgery.
Going under the knife would see him return to action sooner than waiting for his jaw to heal naturally.
Long-time servant Alonso will go the other way back to his homeland.
Barca will be pleased to have Alonso a part of the deal having tracked the left-back, 31, all summer.
