Chelsea join battle for Borussia Dortmund striker Haaland

Chelsea are preparing a bid for Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland.

Much of Chelsea's summer spending was on attacking talents, with Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech and Kai Havertz all arriving in west London.

And on top of all the arrivals, Olivier Giroud and Tammy Abraham have both impressed as a central striker.

But reports have now linked them with the most sought after player in world football, Haaland, says Sky Italia.

The Norwegian has only been with Borussia Dortmund since January of this year, scoring 33 times in just 32 games.

That's meant that some of the biggest clubs in Europe have continued to be linked with him, with Chelsea the latest.
