Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has reportedly identified Borussia Dortmund forward Erling Braut Haaland as his top transfer target for 2021.
While Haaland is currently nearing the end of his first year at the Westfalenstadion, there are a number of release clauses which can be activated in his contract at a later date.
Despite the financial implications of the coronavirus pandemic, several top European clubs are expected to eventually move for a player who has scored 33 goals from 32 appearances for Dortmund.
According to Sky Italia, Lampard has asked club officials to prioritise a move for the 20-year-old at the end of the season.
Chelsea are likely to be in the market for a replacement for Olivier Giroud, who turned 34 in September and has just six months left on his contract.
Manchester United, Manchester City, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich have also been suggested as potential destinations for Haaland.
