English club Chelsea have joined the race for Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Braut Haaland, 20, but Manchester City consider themselves as favourites to sign the Norwegian striker.

Manchester United’s hopes of signing Haaland could be weakened because of their relationship with his agent Mino Raiola, meaning Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin, 23, could be an alternative for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side.

Chelsea intend to free up funds to sign Haaland, and West Ham and England midfielder Declan Rice by selling seven players: England’s Ross Barkley, 27, Spaniard Marcos Alonso, 29, Germany’s Antonio Rudiger, 27, Denmark’s Andreas Christensen, 24, Italian Jorginho, 29, England’s Danny Drinkwater, 30, and Nigeria’s Victor Moses, 30.

Goalkeeper Loris Karius, 27, could return to Liverpool, with Union Berlin considering ending his loan spell early with the German making just one appearance since the start of the season.
