Chelsea and Manchester City are both considering a move for Robert Lewandowski this summer, according to reports.

The Poland international has enjoyed another superb season at Bayern Munich, for whom he has scored 43 goals in 37 appearances in all competitions.

ESPN reports that Chelsea and City are both monitoring the situation, having learned that an offer of around £52m would be enough to open negotiations.

Pep Guardiola’s first-choice starting XI does not include a conventional centre-forward either, and Sergio Aguero will leave City when his contract expires at the end of June.

Aguero is on Chelsea’s radar as Tuchel looks to bolster his options at the top of the pitch.
