Chelsea are ready to wreck Liverpool plans for Wolves midfielder Matheus Nunes.

The Telegraph says Chelsea are prepared to go head-to-head with Liverpool for the signing of Nunes.

Jurgen Klopp's side have been linked with a summer move for the Portuguese star in recent weeks, having also been tipped to move for the 24-year-old prior to his Premier League switch.

Chelsea are also keen on Nunes, who have included the former Sporting Lisbon man on a list of 'potential targets' which includes Declan Rice of West Ham and Amadou Onana of Everton.

Nunes is expected to cost £44million, should any side move for him in the summer.
