Abramovich confident Chelsea will land Borussia Dortmund striker Haaland this summer

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is convinced they can sign Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland this summer.

The Blues are on the hunt for an out-and-out striker to strengthen their attacking armoury, after Timo Werner looked more effective in a withdrawn role during his debut season

The Daily Express says Chelsea are the favourites to sign Haaland, according to reports, with Abramovich willing to stretch the Stamford Bridge budget to land the Dortmund forward.

The latest bid could see Tammy Abraham added to the deal as a make-weight, with the England striker out of favour with Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel.

And Haaland is believed to be open to a move to the European Champions.

Chelsea's capability of challenging for the Champions League is a major boost to their chances of securing Haaland's signature.
