Paul Parker has hit out at one of Chelsea’s summer signings for his ‘wrong attitude’ and lack of passion since his arrival at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues are under fresh ownership this season with Todd Boehly taking over from Roman Abramovich and went on a £272m summer spending spree.
Wesley Fofana, Marc Cucurella, Raheem Sterling, Kalidou Koulibaly, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Carney Chukwuemeka, Gabriel Slonina and Omari Hutchinson all arrived permanently while Chelsea signed Denis Zakaria on loan from Juventus.
Chelsea also swapped managers in September, with Graham Potter replacing Thomas Tuchel as head coach in a period of change in west London.
The Blues are sixth in the Premier League after their opening 12 fixtures and have topped their Champions League group to reach the knockout stages.
But there is one player in particular that Parker has not been impressed with during that spell as he singled out striker Aubameyang for criticism.
The former Arsenal captain joined Chelsea from Barcelona in the summer and the 33-year-old has scored three goals across his first 11 games.
‘You can look at stats all day long but when you’re judging him as a player, you have to look at the person to say, are the stats relevant to his performances now?’ Parker told Bemybet.com.
‘No, stats are not relevant. Because his attitude is not good enough and that’s what everyone should talk about.
‘He is giving the wrong attitude and is giving dippy vibes. You need to show passion to want to play football and I don’t see that with Aubameyang.
‘Chelsea fans would be disappointed by him showing this attitude and they were probably not happy with him arriving.
‘But he is probably enjoying being on that side of London, earning his money and having a great life.’
Aubameyang left Arsenal in controversial circumstances in January after he fell out with boss Mikel Arteta and was stripped of the club’s captaincy over disciplinary issues.
He will face his former side on Sunday as Chelsea host the league leaders at Stamford Bridge.
