The transfer pursuit comes after the Norwegian international scored a staggering 41 goals in all competitions last season.

Also, Borussia Haaland has become a major priority for Premier League club Chelsea as manager Thomas Tuchel is set to bolster his squad.

It is no longer a hidden secret that the Blues are desperately interested in the sensation this summer as they are already making underground moves.

Following their Champions League glory on May 29, head coach Tuchel is prepared to improve his attack in their bid to challenge for titles next season.

Football London are reporting that the manager is already on the trail of three players, but Haaland is his main focus.

Although Chelsea will have to pay around £150million to stand any chance of luring Haaland to Stamford Bridge, it was reported earlier this week that the Leeds-born goal-getter is 'interested' in making the move to west London, handing Tuchel a massive boost in his hopes of strengthening his forward line with his signature.

However, Legit.ng earlier reported that Argentina began their quest for glory in the 2021 Copa America competition following a 1-1 draw with Chile, but Lionel Messi stole the headlines once again, Mirror reports.

The Argentine captain scored a beauty from a free-kick in their underwhelming draw to have a staggered start into the competition.

And just before kick-off of the encounter, a brilliant tribute was paid to late legend Diego Maradona who passed away on November 25, 2020.
