Chelsea Transfer News: Roman Abramovich prefers Harry Kane over Erling Haaland
According to transfer news from Express, Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich wants to sign Harry Kane ahead of Erling Haaland. The Blues have been linked with both the strikers. But their owner feels that a Premier League experienced player like Kane would be a better choice.
Harry Kane has been the main man for Spurs for a while now. However, after another trophyless season, it seems as if he has reached his boiling point. The striker has asked the club to allow him to leave at the end of this season and accept an offer for him.
The Norwegian hitman has taken Europe by storm with his goal-scoring exploits for RB Salzburg and Borussia Dortmund. In 59 outings for the latter, he has scored 57 goals. Chelsea have held an interest in the player for a while now as they try to add a striker to their ranks.
Abramovich prefers a move for Kane
The Blues are keen to add a new striker to their side after an indifferent season from their forwards. After being linked to both the names mentioned above, owner Roman Abramovich has given his verdict on who to sign. The Russian billionaire prefers a Premier League proven striker like Kane ahead of Haaland.
