Lampard told Chelsea board to make £65m Man Utd attacking target top priority signing
According to TEAM TALK, Chelsea are set to join the race to sign Borussia Dortmund starlet Erling Haaland, with Frank Lampard reportedly telling the club’s board to make the Norwegian hitman their priority target.
Haaland is one of the most sought after strikers in the game, having already scored almost 100 senior career goals at the age of just 20.
The former RB Salzburg frontman has already notched 17 goals this season, with Halaand set to start a bidding war.
A number of Europe’s elite are already showing interest, including the likes of Real Madrid and Manchester United.
But Sky Italia, as cited by the Daily Mail, now claims that Lampard has told Blues bosses to ‘make the deal happen’.
Chelsea are looking to swoop for Haaland despite landing Timo Werner for £53million over the summer.
However, Werner has had his struggles adapting to English football and Lampard wants more firepower in his squad.
The London side face a massive scrap to land Haaland, however, with United and Manchester City also keen.
