Reports in England claim that Chelsea are planning to hand their manager Thomas Tuchel a £150million transfer warchest for summer recruitments of players.

The Blues board are delighted with the job the German has done since he arrived in January.

Chelsea have serious money to spend this summer as they continue their bid to get back to the top of the Prem.

A proven goalscorer is seen as a huge priority, with Olivier Giroud, 34, and 23-year-old Tammy Abraham likely to be surplus to requirements.

The Stamford Bridge outfit have been monitoring Erling Haaland’s situation at Borussia Dortmund and also keeping a close eye on their former striker Romelu Lukaku at Inter Milan.
