Chelsea have reportedly paused contract negotiations with Tammy Abraham ahead of their expected summer bid for Borussia Dortmund star Erling Haaland.

The Norwegian striker has been linked with the Blues, Manchester City, Manchester United, PSG, Real Madrid and Barcelona after a sensational season with the Bundesliga club. 

But the Blues remain confident of convincing the 20-year-old to move to Stamford Bridge, which could have a knock-on impact on Abraham’s game time.

Negotiations therefore aren’t urgent, but the Blues have already moved to hand Reece James, Fikayo Tomori, Mason Mount and Callum Hudson-Odoi long-term contracts.
