Chelsea have jumped into the battle for Borussia Dortmund ace Jadon Sancho.

BILD says Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel is lining up a raid on his old Bundesliga club this summer to swoop for the England international.

Club chiefs have confirmed Dortmund have a gentleman's agreement in place with Sancho that will allow him to leave this summer for the right price.

Last year, that fee was around the £100million mark but now, due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on football's finances, it is believed that an offer of £78m will bring Dortmund to the table.

With the Blues ownership looking to back Tuchel in the transfer window this summer, Sancho could well be a marquee signing.
