Chelsea transfer news: Blues to smash club record with £70m Bundesliga striker swoop

The Blues are reportedly closing in on a move for a prolific Bundesliga striker, with a club-record fee of £70 million being mooted.

Chelsea have been linked with a move for the 23-year-old for some time, and it is now being reported that the Blues are close to agreeing a deal with his club.

The striker has scored 22 goals in 30 appearances for his club this season, and he is seen as one of the most promising young forwards in Europe.

Chelsea are in need of a new striker, with Alvaro Morata and Olivier Giroud both failing to impress this season. The Blues have also been linked with a move for Borussia Dortmund's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, but the Gabon international is expected to cost in excess of £100 million.

The signing of the Bundesliga striker would be a major coup for Chelsea, and it would send a clear message that the Blues are still one of the biggest clubs in Europe.
