Chelsea have reportedly thrown their hat into the ring to sign Robert Lewandowski – but find themselves behind Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona in the race to sign him.

However, according to German news outlet Bild, Chelsea have now joined the race to land him this summer, with Thomas Tuchel looking to find a suitable replacement for Romelu Lukaku, who looks destined for the Stamford Bridge exit.

The report claims that Chelsea know they have ground to make up on both PSG and Barca if they are to have any hope of signing the 33-year-old striker.
