Chelsea is among top clubs pursuing Bayer Leverkusen forward Christian Kofane, who may cost between 60-70 million euros.

But starting the game better, coupled with our own quality and our own build-up play and getting the opener, we can dampen the atmosphere. That can make a big difference.
Bayer Leverkusen climbed to fourth place in the Bundesliga after a commanding 4-0 win over relegation-threatened St. Pauli. Jarell Quansah and Patrik Schick struck early on at the BayArena, before second-half efforts from Edmond Tapsoba and Ernest Poku completed the rout. The hosts broke the deadlock in the 13th minute, when Quansah headed home Poku's dangerous cross via the underside of the crossbar.
