Chelsea transfer news round-up: Giroud set to leave as club target Harry Kane

Chelsea may have won the Champions League on Saturday but their celebrations have not stopped the club pursuing the players they want for next season.

Manager Thomas Tuchel is said to have the backing of the club to form the team he wants.

Tuchel revealed he met Chelsea's owner Roman Abramovich for the first time after lifting the trophy on Saturday.

He said: "I'm not even 100 per cent sure, but maybe I have already a new contract with that win.

"My manager said something about it. I did not know, but let's check this first. I spoke to the owner (Roman Abramovich) right now on the pitch, which was the best moment for a first meeting!

"...Or the worst as from now on, it can only get worse! We will speak tomorrow, we will speak later, but I'm looking forward to this."

The Blues' 1-0 win over Manchester City in Porto came thanks to a first half goal from Kai Havertz.

Chelsea did enough to silence attempts to equalise from City in the second half to lift the trophy for the second time in their history.

Mirror Football has rounded up the latest Chelsea transfer news and taken a look at who is on the club's radar.

Olivier Giroud to sign for Milan

Blues' forward Olivier Giroud may have signed his career at Chelsea off perfectly with the Champions League win as rumours heat up about the star moving away from the club.

It has been reported by Sky that Italian club AC Milan have offered the star a deal but nothing has been confirmed.

Giroud signed for Chelsea in 2018 from Arsenal and has also won the Europa League with the club.

Harry Kane becomes target for Tuchel

While Tottenham's Harry Kane has been on Tuchel's radar in recent weeks, it is now been reported he is a firm target for the manager.

The Telegraph reports that Chelsea will spend £200m in the transfer window with a lot of that set aside for Kane.

Kane's departure from Spurs has not yet been confirmed but his lap of honour for fans earlier this month seemingly suggested he would leave.

Chelsea have competition in signing the star though as Manchester United and Manchester City are also interested.

Blues urged to sign Lukaku

Chelsea's Tuchel has been encouraged to pursue Inter Milan's Romelo Lukaku by former Blues star Joe Cole.

Lukaku has three years on his contract at the Italian club but Cole believes he is the right striker for the job.

Cole told Goal.com: “I think Werner is a quality player who Chelsea needs but if Lukaku is available at the right price then Chelsea would take him.

“He is one of the top strikers and every team will strengthen this year. To win titles, you need options and a mix of different types of players to win.”
