Chelsea players receive massive message ahead of Fa cup final, as Blues in talks with striker’s agent and father
Ahead of Saturday’s FA Cup final against Leicester City, Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has urged the players to be willing to suffer and help each other on the pitch.
Tuchel also revealed Chelsea would be playing two finals against Leicester City – the FA Cup final and final for a top four finish.
“These are two finals and we do not think about anything else,” Tuchel said.
“It’s the final of the cup and the final for the top four. We missed the chance to have a decisive advantage against Arsenal.
“We have to be up for it. Any win gives you a good feeling and it is tough to play two finals against the same team, but the whole group is available.
“It’s the moment to step up and enjoy on the highest level, by suffering and helping each other on the pitch.”
Chelsea in talks with Erling Haaland’s agent and father
Chelsea have reportedly held talks with the agent and father of Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland.
That’s according to HLN journalist Kristof Terreur who claims the Blues have begun their pursuit of the Norwegian wonderkid.
Undoubtedly, one of football’s hottest prospects, Haaland, who has a £68m release clause in 2022, is being courted by some of the sport’s biggest clubs.
The Athletic recently revealed that as many as six top clubs were all in the race to land him, these clubs included Chelsea, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Juventus, Paris-Saint Germain and both Manchester sides.
The race to land Haaland is wide open and while some days it appears one club are leading the charge, other days another top contender emerges.
However, one thing is becoming increasingly more apparent – Haaland will leave Dortmund at some point in the near future.
In an attempt to beat their rivals to the ace’s signature, according to HLN’s Terreur, Roman Abrahmovic Blues have already been in touch with the player’s agent and family.
