Chelsea are considering a swoop for 6ft 7in striker Sasa Kalajdzic as their move for Dortmund hitman Erling Haaland stalls... so, what could Blues fans expect from the Stuttgart giant who has named Man Utd midfielder Nemanja Matic as an inspiration?

Chelsea have reportedly identified Stuttgart striker Sasa Kalajdzic as a potential transfer target if their move for Erling Haaland does not happen.

The Blues are understood to have had an opening player-plus-cash bid for Haaland rejected last week, which means the Premier League side may look elsewhere to add to their forward line this summer.

Austrian Kalajdzic scored an impressive 17 goals in all competitions for the Bundesliga side last season, with Chelsea's domestic rivals Tottenham and Dortmund - if Haaland leaves - also said to be interested.

Below, Sportsmail runs the rule over the Stuttgart giant, who scored a fine goal against eventual tournament winners Italy in the Euro 2020 last 16, and identifies what Blues fans could expect from him if he were to move to Stamford Bridge.
