Chelsea to submit British-record bid for Erling Braut Haaland

Chelsea are prepared to submit a British-record bid to sign Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Braut Haaland this summer, Football Insider reports.

The Blues ended the previous campaign on a high note with Champions League glory, but they were still disappointing with their finishing in the final third.

Timo Werner and Tammy Abraham were the joint top-scorers with just 12 goals, and the former was guilty of missing several clear-cut chances.

The Blues are now searching for another elite striker, and Haaland has been earmarked as their prime target for this summer’s transfer window.
