Welcome to Tuesday morning transfer updates for some star players as clubs in Europe are getting ready to boost their squad ahead of the coming season.
Chelsea to trade Abraham for Haaland?
The Blues have made an official transfer approach to Borussia Dortmund regarding star striker Erling Haaland.
Thomas Tuchel has made it
clear he needs an elite goalscorer for next season. And who better than
Haaland? Chelsea know the odds are against them, but the club chiefs have made
a move and sounded out the possibility of trading the £40 million-rated Tammy
Abraham.

around £170million for Haaland, Chelsea hope in a swap deal involving Abraham
will lower the transfer fee. [Daily Mail]
