Chelsea are interested in signing Erling Haaland this summer, according to The Athletic.
The £90million-rated Borussia Dortmund striker is one of the most sought-after players in the world at the moment, having scored 35 goals in as many appearances for the Bundesliga giants.
Liverpool have been linked with an audacious swoop for the Norwegian superstar and now Chelsea are also believed to be in the mix.
It is noted that Manchester City and Manchester United have shown interest, too, while Real Madrid could be viewed as Haaland’s ideal destination.
It is Chelsea who are reportedly going to make a ‘big push’ to sign the striker, though.

Haaland is a sensational footballer – one who looks like he could be the star player of his generation, given his scoring rate.
The impact he has already made at the age of just 20 is staggering and he could be a special signing for Liverpool, acting as a long-term addition to the forward line.
Roberto Firmino has been a wonderful player for the Reds, and can continue to be, but having Haaland leading the line instead could make the Premier League champions even more potent, possibly with the Brazilian in a No.10 role.
Firmino missed several chances against United on Sunday that the Dortmund man would likely have buried, proving to be the difference-maker in a big game.
It looks set to be a huge tussle for Haaland’s signature this summer – if Liverpool manage to snap him up, it could be huge.
