Chelsea and Manchester City are reportedly leading the race to sign Borussia Dortmund midfielder Mahmoud Dahoud.

Thomas Tuchel helped sign Dahoud back in 2017 and will hope to bring the Dortmund star at Stamford Bridge.

Dahoud will have an idea of what to expect if he joins the Blues, having previously worked with manager Tuchel at Dortmund.

The Syrian-born Germany international has a contract which is coming to an end in 2022, and the Bundesliga side may be more willing to negotiate in the summer to ensure they don’t lose him for free.

Tottenham Hotspur and Everton are also said to be among those taking an interest in Dahoud’s situation.
