Erling Haaland remains the number one target for the no.9 position at Chelsea. Thomas Tuchel wants the Norwegian striker to relieve Timo Werner of his goal-scoring duties.
The Blues had series of offers rejected for Erling Haaland by Borrusia Dortmund, who insist they will not sell the striker in the same window as Jadon Sancho.
Jason Sancho has left the German club Borrusia Dortmund for Manchester United earlier in this summer transfer window. The German club cannot afford to lose two out of their highly talented players in one transfer window.
