Chelsea are determined to sign Erling Haaland this summer, with Thomas Tuchel set to continue where Frank Lampard left off in terms of transfer activity.
Chelsea are desperate for a new centre-forward this summer.
The Blues were active last summer as they brought in nearly £250million worth of new talent, including Timo Werner and Kai Havertz.
However, Tuchel has moved Werner into a wide position, playing to the left of a central striker, and Havertz is yet to be utilised.
However, once Havertz comes into the picture he'll likely play behind a central striker - perhaps on the right side in a free role while Werner tucks in behind a number nine.

Olivier Giroud is set to depart at the end of his contract, and Chelsea are expected to replace him immediately.
And Haaland has emerged as their ideal target, considering his £68m release clause - which will be active from 2022 onwards.
Borussia Dortmund have been tipped to sell this summer if they receive any offers in excess of £68m, a fee Chelsea would likely exceed.
He might not be the only target they go after, however, as they've also been tempted to look for a new centre-back.

Thiago Silva has been solid since arriving on a free last summer, but at 36 his days of consistent first-team minutes are perhaps behind him.
He's yet to extend his contract, meaning he could well be moved on this summer if a new target is found.
Chelsea were interested in Dayot Upamecano before he signed for Bayern Munich, and have also been linked with David Alaba.
The Bayern ace is set to depart the Allianz Arena this summer at the end of his contract, and despite reports linking him with Real Madrid, he is yet to make a decision.
