TOP STORY: Will Chelsea or Liverpool land Nunes?
Chelsea are set to rival Liverpool in their efforts to sign Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Matheus Nunes, as has been reported by The Telegraph.
Wolves may have endured their struggles this season, currently sitting 17th in the Premier League table, but Nunes has impressed since his summer move from Sporting CP.
Liverpool have long been linked with players to improve their midfield, with Borussia Dortmund‘s Jude Bellingham the main player in mind, but it appears those displays mean Jurgen Klopp also wants Nunes at Anfield.
The Reds will face competition from the Blues, although any club that does sign the Portugal international is expected to have to pay at least £55 million for his transfer.
West Ham United‘s Declan Rice and Brighton & Hove Albion‘s Moises Caicedo are also being looked at by Chelsea as they aim to strengthen their midfield.
This comes with N’Golo Kante having struggled with injury and currently having a contract that expires at the end of the season, while Jorginho is expected to leave when his deal runs out in the summer.
The London club have spent big this window to strengthen their squad, leaving midfield as the area they are looking to make additions to over the next two windows.
Wolves manager Julen Lopetegui has ruled out the idea of Nunes leaving this January.
