Chelsea must meet two conditions to sign Erling Braut Haaland

Chelsea will need to fulfil two requirements if they want to sign Erling Braut Haaland from Borussia Dortmund.

The appointment of Thomas Tuchel as manager has sparked talk that the 20-year-old could join the Blues this summer.

Haaland has a £66 million release clause in his current contract, although this does not come into effect until 2022.

However, European football writer Tom Williams believes that Chelsea could secure Haaland’s services earlier providing they can fulfil a couple of conditions.

“There is feeling that he will end up here someday and his game would certainly be suited to English football,” he told the Sky Sports Transfer Talk podcast.
