Rumour Has It: Chelsea eye Lewandowski, United close in on Varane

London, July 18: After winning the Champions League, Chelsea are looking to add a goalscorer.

With Borussia Dortmund's Erling Haaland seemingly no longer a possibility, the Blues could look elsewhere in Germany.

Robert Lewandowski has become the name to watch.

Robert Lewandowski has moved to the top of Chelsea's wish list, according to the Sun.

The Poland international scored a record 41 league goals for Bayern Munich last season and is under contract through 2023.

But Thomas Tuchel wants a prolific scorer and Lewandowski would certainly fit the bill, should Bayern accept a £50million offer for the 32-year-old.
