Chelsea will be on a mission to close the gap between themselves and the current Premier League leaders, Manchester City and Liverpool next season. Whilst the points difference on the table looks to be quite a massive jump between the clubs, the Blues are confident that they can make the move and become champions of England once more.
They have the manager, they now have a new owner, and all that is missing is the right players - reinforcements in the transfer window. Ousmane Dembele has been considered as the right fit to help Chelsea on their quest for glory next season, on more than one occasion. The Frenchman is quite the saucy winger, however, will he be enough considering what's happening at the Etihad Stadium? Pep Guardiola's side are one step closer to signing Erling Haaland, so if Chelsea are to close the gap, they may need to think outside of the box. Dembele is a start, but to what extent does this potential signing bridge the gap?
The Haaland news does not come as a surprise. You could see this coming from a mile away, and I am sure that Chelsea's hierarchy would have predicted this exact outcome. Haaland is arguably one of the world's most prolific strikers today. The 21-year-old is compared to the likes of Karim Benzema and Robert Lewandowski for a reason. With 28 goals in 29 matches, just imagine the numbers that he could reach in a Manchester City shirt.
