Chelsea could choose Robert Lewandowski or Man City long term target for Erling Haaland answer

Recent rumours have suggested that Chelsea could be looking for a move for Robert Lewandowski. Expert in European football, Julien Laurens, has claimed that the Blues should go for Lewandowski if they are to close the gap between Manchester City and Liverpool. While I believe that Thomas Tuchel could use a prolific goal scorer in his team to adapt to his system, other options can be explored.

The fallacy of 'Bundesliga tax" is too risky. Whether or not it is real, the evidence suggests that it is much easier to be an exceptional goal-scorer in Germany than in England. Just ask Timo Werner. Once a 25+ goal a season player has struggled to reach ten this season.

Players such as Lewandowski and Erling Haaland sound appealing, but there's no one more accustomed to the struggles of the Premier league than a player who has been here all of his career. So I think I'd instead take up Jermaine Jenas' offer.
