The chances of Chelsea landing star striker Erling Haaland has increased in the past week. The 20-year-old Norway hitman will cost a world record fee with Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich looking at forking out the thick end of £160million. Personal terms are not considered to be an issue.

Chelsea crashed to a humbling 1-0 FA Cup final defeat to Leicester City at Wembley and had the added indignity of seeing a last-gasp equaliser ruled out for offside.

Chelsea head into a massive five days that could define their domestic season.

Arsenal parked the bus and took full advantage of a horror error by Jorginho to steal the three points as the north Londoners won 1-0 at Stamford Bridge tonight. It reignited the Gooners’ slim Europa League hopes while denting Chelsea’s chance to jump, over Leicester City into third place.
