Chelsea remain keen on signing Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Braut Haaland.

According to Jan Aage Fjortoft, the Premier League side are currently working hard to secure the services of the Norwegian international.

Haaland is seen as the missing piece that could help the Blues challenge for the Premier League title next season.

Thomas Tuchel guided Chelsea to Champions League success this past season, and he will be hoping to lead them to Premier League glory next term.

Dortmund have maintained that the striker is not for sale this summer, but Fjortoft claims that Chelsea are confident of completing the transfer.

However, he says the asking price and the player’s wage demands could scupper their hopes of sealing the deal.

Re: Erling Haaland

Chelsea working intense to get Erling Haaland.

He is seen as the “missing” player to make them challenge for the PL-title next season.

Fee very high, but confidence that this can be solved.

The main obstacle could be the wage-structure at Chelsea
