CHELSEA flop Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has completed a free transfer to Marseille.
And the French club have likened his arrival to that of a superhero after handing him a three-year deal.
Aubameyang, 34, only joined Chelsea from Barcelona last summer.
Thomas Tuchel begged Todd Boehly to reunite him with the former Borussia Dortmund and Arsenal star.
But Aubameyang barely kicked a ball before Tuchel was sacked.
And he ended up playing just 21 times in all competitions for the Blues, scoring just three goals.

Chelsea flop Aubameyang agrees shock transfer to ‘Arsenal retirement home’
Aubameyang returned to Cobham on Tuesday after his summer holidays – the day after Mauricio Pochettino departed for the USA with Chelsea's new-look squad.
But Marseille quickly came calling after making the decision to release club legend Dimitri Payet.
And Aubameyang will now become the French side's main attacking threat, starring alongside former Arsenal teammates like Alexis Sanchez and Matteo Guendouzi.
Marseille appear to be expecting big things from their new man, announcing his arrival in a glitzy video making him out to be their very own superhero.

Aubameyang certainly knows a thing or two about saving the day, regularly pulling on a Black Panther or Spiderman mask as a goal celebration in his prime.
And he will be hoping to return to old ways in front of the net following a strange 18 months.
Before Chelsea, Aubameyang spent six months at Barcelona after being axed as Arsenal boss by Mikel Arteta.
He scored 13 goals in 24 games for the Spaniards.
And Aubameyang was thought to be in line for a return to the Nou Camp until Marseille came calling.
But his 92 goals for Arsenal and 141 strikes for Borussia Dortmund are sure to inspire faith at the Stade Velodrome, with Marseille hoping to improve on last season's third-place finish .
