Chelsea will allegedly look to raise £86m from selling four players as they look to secure a deal for Borussia Dortmund forward Erling Braut Haaland.

Chelsea are reportedly keen to sell four players in order to boost their chances of to signing Borussia Dortmund forward Erling Braut Haaland.

Having just won the Champions League for the second time in their history, the Blues are prepared to break their transfer record to claim the Norwegian's signature this summer.

According to Sunday World, Chelsea must part ways with a number of players before they can try to wrap up a deal for the 20-year-old.

The report claims that the Premier League outfit could look to sell Kepa Arrizabalaga, Ross Barkley, Tammy Abraham and Olivier Giroud over the coming weeks.

Chelsea are said to be looking to raise as much as £86m, something which may prove difficult in the current market.

While Aston Villa are allegedly prepared to pay in the region of £40m for Abraham, compromises may have to be reached in order to get the other trio off their wage bill.
