Can Chelsea pull off the Erling Haaland transfer from Borussia Dortmund this summer?

The future of Erling Haaland was always going to be the main transfer saga of the summer, and Chelsea appear to be the early frontrunners for the 20-year-old's signature.

The Norwegian forward scored 41 goals in 41 games for Borussia Dortmund last season and has stapled himself as one of the top strikers in Europe.

Thomas Tuchel's Blues, Manchester City and Real Madrid are all keen on bringing in Haaland to secure guaranteed goals for the upcoming campaign. Whoever the striker joins will be an early influence on at least one of the European title races this summer.
