Chelsea are determined to push hard to sign Dortmund’s Erling Haaland, pictured, this summer (Liam McBurney/PA)Chelsea remain undeterred in their ambitious bid to sign Erling Haaland this summer despite claims the Borussia Dortmund striker is not interested in a move to Stamford Bridge. The Blues have placed Haaland at the top of their transfer target list in preparation for another summer of heavy investment, the PA news agency understands. Reports in Germany last week claimed Haaland would only consider a move to six clubs in Europe, with Chelsea not on that list. Haaland has a clause in his Dortmund contract that would force the German outfit to accept a fee of £66million in 2022. Tammy Abraham remains the Blues’ top scorer this season but has been unable to win over new boss Thomas Tuchel so far.
