Erling Haaland could topple the record for goal involvements (goals plus assists) in a single season, including beating Alan Shearer's 42-game record.
A season ago, Manchester City conceded just 26 goals in 38 games (0.68 per game). (AE) Per the report both Werner and De Ligt are up for the move, with the Dutch center back set to be the new center-piece of Thomas Tuchel’s defense, while Werner is keen for a fresh start in Italy as his goalscoring woes in the Premier League continue.

His quality is clear for all to see and he would slot in well to the 3-4-2-1 system and is very comfortable on the ball and coming out of the back to start attacks. The focus at Chelsea will likely now be on selling players and they will have to move on a lot of fringe players to offset this huge spending spree. It is reported (below) that Chelsea will pay the Norwegian side $12.7 million for Fofana.
