Roman Abramovich 'releases funds for Chelsea to sign £150m Erling Haaland and will REFUSE to give up on signing him'... as Callum Hudson-Odoi, Hakim Ziyech and Tammy Abraham face the chop to recoup some transfer cash

Roman Abramovich has handed Chelsea the funds to go and get Borussia Dortmund star striker Erling Haaland this summer for £150million, according to reports.

The 20-year-old striker is expected to be chased by several of Europe's elite this summer, with Sportsmail revealing in March that the Blues are one of three European sides interested in the forward along with Manchester City and Real Madrid.

Haaland, who scored 41 goals in 41 matches last season for the German side, would follow England international Jadon Sancho out of the Dortmund exit door should he move on this summer, with the winger set to join Manchester United for £73million.
