Riyad Mahrez moves to scuttle Chelsea efforts to sign Erling Haaland

Manchester City have stepped up their pursuit of Erling Haaland through an unlikely source with Riyad Mahrez partying with the striker in Mykonos.

Chelsea are reportedly in touch with the Borussia Dortmund goal merchant ahead of move to Stamford Bridge.

Reports claim that Haaland is interested in joining the Champions League champions after signifying their interest in him.

‘Agent Mahrez’ appeared to be loving life alongside Haaland as he put in a good word for the Premier League champions.

Haaland missed out on Euro 2020 with Norway failing to qualify but the Borussia Dortmund star appears to be making the most of his holiday time.

The prolific striker is one of the most sought after players in Europe with Man City heavily linked with him.

Sergio Aguero’s departure has left a void to fill and Haaland is one of the club’s main transfer targets.

And Mahrez took to social media to cheekily play his part in trying to persuade Haaland to move to Man City.
