Roman Abramovich prioritizes Premier League striker over Erling Haaland.
Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane is above Erling Haaland on Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich’s transfer order list, according to Gianluca Di Marzio.
The Blues want a new striker this season, and the report hints they are interested in two strikers in precise; Kane and Haaland.
One is arguably the best striker in the Premier League and the other one is one of the most impressive goalscorers in Europe at the moment — neither of these two would be lightly to sign or come inexpensive.
Interestingly, Di Marzio alleges that Abramovich weighs bringing Haaland to Stamford Bridge would be more complex than finding a transfer agreement with London rivals over their best player.
This assertion opposes an earlier report from Tuttomercatoweb that claimed Halaand was of Abramovich’s priority target.
But that report was issued in February, and at that point, Kane did not appear to be anywhere near being available in the transfer market.

Di Marzio further reckoned that Chelsea are ready to spend €70million (£60.4m) for the England international.
Although, that is surprisingly a low budget for such an elite striker who won three Premier League Golden Boots in the last six seasons.
It is also known the transfer history — or rather lack thereof — between Spurs and Chelsea.
The Italian journalist also suggested Chelsea are very persistent on signing Kane despite incoming Spurs sporting director Fabio Paratici’s needing to make sure that the striker stays in north London, at least for another year.
Chelsea are not the only involved party, however, as Manchester City are also reportedly in the hunt for Kane following Sergio Aguero’s exit.
Kane recently heaped praise to Chelsea youngster Mason Mount if Chelsea fans are to have any optimism of Stamford Bridge move.
“He’s brilliant for us [England],” Mount said about Kane in a press conference back in March (via FourFourTwo).
“We want him to drop in those positions to link everything up because he is so good at it, as you’ve seen for setting up my goal.
“He sees the passes, he’s very good with the ball vision-wise and picking people out.
“So for him to drop deeper and get the ball and turn it is brilliant for us because then we have runners.”
