Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel, has revealed Borussia Dortmund’s Erling Haaland as the Blues’ biggest rival in the Champions League this season.

He also admitted that Chelsea are ‘talking regularly’ about the potential of signing Haaland from Dortmund.

He described the 21-year-old as a ‘fantastic’ player, who has a great profile at Dortmund.

Recall that Chelsea were among top European clubs, including Manchester City, Manchester United, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and PSG, that have been linked with Haaland in the past.

The Norway international has so far scored 18 goals in 13 appearances for club and country this season.

“It looked unrealistic and not possible to do.
