Chelsea are ready to enter the race to sign Robert Lewandowski from Bayern Munich, reports Sport Bild.
The Blues have lost Romelu Lukaku this summer, with the Belgian striker returning to Inter Milan on a one-year loan deal.
Thomas Tuchel is on the brink of signing Raheem Sterling from Manchester City, but is also looking to bring in a centre forward.
However, Chelsea will have to slug it out with Paris Saint-Germain for Lewandowski.
Barcelona are favourites to land the Poland international, who is into the final year of his contract with Bayern.
But Chelsea and PSG are ready to capitalize if the LaLiga club is unable to generate the funds required to pull off the deal.
