Chelsea ready to prioritise signing Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham this summer.

The Telegraph says Chelsea will focus their attention on signing Bellingham as they resign themselves to defeat to Arsenal in the race for West Ham captain Declan Rice.

Blues owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali will "move heaven and earth" to try and sign the England midfielder.

The report details how the pair were in attendance for England's clash against Iran at the World Cup, with Bellingham scoring the opening goal in that fixture.

And just over a week later, The Sun reported how Boehly was "obsessed" about signing Bellingham.

However, there is also said to be a recognition of Chelsea not being frontrunners to sign Bellingham, with Liverpool, Real Madrid and Manchester City more likely occupiers of the crown.
