Chelsea told £51m dream transfer would struggle under Graham Potter because of major team issues

Former Chelsea striker Tony Cascarino has claimed that Erling Haaland would struggle to score more than 10 goals under Graham Potter, in the current state of affairs. The Blues have struggled to find the net since the return of the Premier League, scoring just three goals - two of which came in the same tie against newly-promoted Bournemouth.

The west Londoners are the lowest-scoring top-ten side in the Premier League so far this season. Haaland, on the other hand, has netted 21 this campaign with three of which coming after the World Cup, single-handedly matching Chelsea's output.

But, despite the Manchester City striker's dazzling form, the 22-year-old has been tipped to struggle in Potter's side. Haaland was thinly linked with a move to Stamford Bridge in the summer but a move broke down and he eventually joined the Premier League champions.
