Chelsea Coach Thomas Tuchel Confirms Interest in Erling Haaland

  • Chelsea boss, Thomas Tuchel has confirmed that the club is still interested in Erling Haaland
  • Says there won’t be problem playing him with Lukaku

Ekohotblog reports that Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel has confirmed that the London club is interested in signing Erling Haaland.

The Blues were regularly linked with a move for the Norwegian striker throughout the summer transfer window, before eventually opting for Inter’s Romelu Lukaku when it became clear that Dortmund were unwilling to sell their prized asset, even for £150m.

Haaland has scored 70 goals in 69 appearances since joining Dortmund for €20 million (£17m/$23m) in January 2020, attracting attention from a number of top clubs in the process.

We talked about Erling Haaland a couple of times, including during the transfer window. But then it seemed absolutely unrealistic and not at all feasible,” the Chelsea boss told SportBild .

“We talk about him regularly, of course, because he’s a fantastic player and clearly the defining figure at Dortmund, who is a big rival for us in the Champions League.”

Asked if he can see Haaland moving to Stamford Bridge next summer despite Lukaku’s presence, he added: “You mean two at the top [with] Lukaku and Haaland? We can talk about it!

“I don’t think we’ve been really serious about it yet, but let’s see what will happen in the next few weeks.”
