The Blues will almost certainly finish in the top four despite a colossal wobble this past month, with Arsenal potentially taking third place should results not go Chelsea's way. Coupled with Tottenham and Man United's inability to capitalise on rare Chelsea slips, Tuchel's side should secure a UEFA Champions League spot.

However, Chelsea do have interest in him. Reporter Jacob Steinberg, said: "A player Tuchel loves. A long shot at the moment, Lewa wants Barca and Chelsea need to work out what to do with [Romelu] Lukaku, but it’s not impossible."

Lewandowski is Europe's top scorer this season, with a whopping 48 goals in all competitions.

Chelsea could have the chance to sign a player who dreams of emulating club legend Didier Drogba in the summer. Maxwel Cornet has frequently been one of Burnley's brightest sparks this season but will be allowed to leave on a cut-price deal if Mike Jackson's side are relegated this weekend.
