Latest Update On Haaland, Hakimi & Kane – Chelsea To Swap 23-Year-Old Striker
Chelsea have been in the transfer market this summer in search of a proven goalscorer with Erling Haaland and Harry Kane among the names in the club’s transfer wishlist. Also, it has been reported that the Blues are the frontrunners in the pursuit of Inter Milan’s right-back Hakimi Achraf.
So with the recent developments, we try to make sense of all the transfer rumors surrounding Chelsea right now below;
INs
Erling Haaland
The Norwegian had been identified as Chelsea’s only concrete transfer target for the summer. And the forward has hinted that he won’t be staying at Dortmund for long. However, the Bundesliga side is reportedly wanting at least over £100 million for the striker and don’t want to part ways with him this summer.
But while Chelsea remain in contact with the player’s representatives, a move seems unlikely at this time due to his high wages.
Harry Kane
The Blues were also linked with a move for the Englishman but the striker will most likely join Manchester United or Manchester City if he leaves Tottenham this summer, according to the Times.
However, with Spurs chairman Daniel Levy blocking Luka Modric’s move to Chelsea 9 years ago, it’s unlikely he will allow his star man to join his club’s direct rivals.
Although Chelsea still remain in contact with the player over a possible move.
Achraf Hakimi
Lots of sources have stated that Chelsea are competing with PSG for the signing of the Inter Milan right-wing-back.
Meanwhile, Italian media sources have equally reported that Hakimi’s agent has said that his client is leaving Inter for sure this summer.
Plus it has been claimed that Chelsea have an edge over PSG in this race as Hakimi wants to play in the Premier League. Thus, a Chelsea move is most likely for the Moroccan.
