Chelsea are quietly confident of signing Erling Haaland in the summer.

The Norway international has emerged as one of the most prolific strikers in Europe with Borussia Dortmund.

Haaland has a buyout clause of €75 million that will be active in the summer of 2022.

But Dortmund could forced to sell sooner if don't qualify for the Champions League next season.

And Eurosport claims Chelsea are at the front of the queue to sign him should that happen.

Thomas Tuchel wants a world-class striker in his squad and believes Haaland is a generational talent.

The Blues closest rivals in their pursuit of Haaland is Manchester City.

The 20-year-old's father, Alf Inge, played for three years with the Sky Blues.

Pep Guardiola is also on the hunt for a new striker as Sergio Aguero prepares to leave the Etihad this summer.
