Chelsea set sights on Costa replacement

It looked like the Polish centre-forward would stay at Bayern, but Lewandowski's anger with the German side has opened up a window of opportunity for clubs such as Chelsea to snatch the 28-year-old.

As reported by 'Fox Sports', Abramovich is seriously considering making a bid for the attacker. Other names have been considered to strengthen the front line, but Lewandowski is now top priority.

Romelu Lukaku or Alvaro Morata both looked close to joining the Blues, but have now been pushed down the list in favour of the Bayern striker, who still has four more years on his current contract, but his situation in Ancelotti's team has deteriorated considerably.

The Polish captain's numbers in Munich have been astounding. 43 goals and 10 assists have caused Europe's top teams to dream of his signing.
