Chelsea and their potential new owners have been told that they have until the end of April to complete a potential swoop for Borussia Dortmund's Erling Haaland amid fresh 'talks' are underway.
There was once a time whereby manager Thomas Tuchel joked and fantasised over a potential Romelu Lukaku and Haaland link up but fast forward to now and one could potentially be replacing the other in west London. The current £97.5million club-record signing had a blistering start to his Blues homecoming but since that infamous and untimely Sky Sport Italia interview in which the Belgian had admitted his mistake in leaving Inter Milan, Chelsea's current number 9 has never looked at home since.
He has scored goals here and there in recent times, with the FA Cup his current avenue of success, but in the league, as shown by his starting place on the bench against Brentford at the weekend, Serie A's MVP winner isn't the taste of the month anymore in SW6 with Kai Havertz taking the mantle. Despite these clear snubs from the first time coupled with reports that his current manager wants the owners' first job to be moving on both misfiring forwards in the form of Lukaku and Timo Werner, the German himself didn't want to entertain the recent news that had surfaced in the Italian media.
