Robert Lewandowski shows off talent on the pitch
The clinical striker is reportedly destined for a Bayern Munich exit this summer.
Real Madrid are leading the chase for Lewandowski's signature after struggling to match Barcelona's fire power in La Liga this term.
Los Blancos remain heavy favourites to sign the Polish striker.
But Chelsea are being backed to rival Madrid for Lewandowski's services in the summer.
According to Coral, the Blues are now just 2/1 to land the 29-year-old, having been 4/1 just a few days ago.

The bookmaker still have Madrid as 6/4 favourites.
While Jose Mourinho's Manchester United can be backed at 5/2.
Manchester City and PSG have also been priced at 8/1 and 10/1 respectively.
“Chelsea are sure to be in the market for a striker this summer and punters believe Robert Lewandowski is top of their shopping list as they are backing the Poland international to join the West London club,” said Coral’s John Hill.
Chelsea have endured a miserable title defence this season.
Alvaro Morata has struggled at Chelsea this term
Despite spending big in the summer, Antonio Conte has bemoaned the club's transfer policy and failure to secure first-choice targets.
Chelsea splashed out £70m on Alvaro Morata to replace Diego Costa.
But the Spaniard has failed to continue his early season form.
Morata is now being linked with a move back to Madrid, which would put Chelsea in pole position to land Lewandowski from Bayern.
The Bundesliga star has netted 35 times in all competitions this season.
