Chelsea news and transfers live: Blues eye £52m Man Utd target, Spinazzola move, deal confirmed

Hello and welcome along to football.london’s Chelsea news and transfer news live blog.

It has already been a busy summer of transfer activity at Stamford Bridge, but so far the window has mainly focused on departures meaning Thomas Tuchel is still yet to make a signing since replacing Frank Lampard as head coach.

But having guided the Blues to a sensational Champions League triumph last season, it is likely that the German tactician will be heavily backed by owner Roman Abramovich in the transfer market.

Tuchel is believed to want three new signings as a minimum this summer, with Borussia Dortmund star Erling Haaland understood to be at the very top of his wish list.

Will the Blues be able to win the race for the striker’s signature?
