Chelsea 'are confident they can tempt Erling Haaland to Stamford Bridge this summer' as owner Roman Abramovich lines up 'attractive financial package' in bid to beat Europe's elite clubs to the Borussia Dortmund star

Chelsea believe they are firmly in the race to sign Norwegian superstar Erling Haaland, with Roman Abramovich ready to splash serious cash to bring the striker to west London.

Despite reports in Germany this week that Chelsea had no chance of prising the 20-year-old from Borussia Dortmund, the Blues believe they have the most attractive Premier League package to offer Haaland, according to ESPN.

On top of Abramovich's willingness to offer a significant financial package to the £100million-rated Haaland, Chelsea's position as a squad brimming with expensive young talent is another supposed feather in their cap.
