Chelsea owner Todd Boehly is eager to bring Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo to London.

The Sun says Boehly is a huge fan of Ronaldo but must now convince manager Thomas Tuchel to go for him.

Tuchel and Boehly are set to hold talks on whether to follow up with a firm bid for the five-time Ballon d'Or winner or invest elsewhere in the squad.

The German head coach thinks Manchester City star Raheem Sterling and defenders are the priority, having lost key centre-backs this summer.

But the American businessman wants a marquee signing to launch his regime after taking over last month in a £4.25billion deal

Boehly has held a series of talks with Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes this summer.
