There are reports Chelsea have had an opening offer- a swap deal- rejected for the Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland.

The west London club owner Roman Abramovich is reportedly keen to acquire the services of the Norway international.

According to Sky Germany, Thomas Tuchel’s side have offered to swap out of favour striker Abraham as well as winger Hudson-Odoi for Dortmund’s star asset.

But the Bundesliga side have turned them down.

Dortmund are reportedly insisting on receiving an eyewatering £150million for Haaland this summer – despite a £65m release clause coming into play next year.

BVB have agreed terms with forward Donyell Malen, a potential replacement for Haaland.
