Chelsea 'make contact with Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski'

Chelsea have reportedly made contact with the representatives of Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski ahead of a proposed transfer this summer.

The Blues have already begun their search to recruit a new centre-forward before the start of next season and the Poland international is one of their primary targets.

According to Sky Sports News in Germany, Chelsea have enquired about Lewandowski's availability and are hoping they can persuade him to come to the Premier League and make a move to Stamford Bridge.

However, the 32-year-old is understood to prefer a switch to Spain if he were to leave the Bundesliga this summer, but is also happy to stay in Germany and play for Bayern.

If the Blues failed to agree a deal to sign Lewandowski, then they may look to other targets including Borussia Dortmund's Erling Braut Haaland, Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane and Inter Milan's Romelu Lukaku.

Lewandowski has had another stellar season in front of goal, scoring a remarkable 47 times in just 39 appearances across all competitions this campaign.
