Chelsea are ready to pounce for Barcelona attacker Philippe Coutinho.

Sport says Chelsea are to swoop for Coutinho if their transfer ban is lifted this summer.

The Blues are keen to spend - if allowed - and Coutinho tops their wishlist.

Chelsea feel Coutinho would be the ideal replacement for Eden Hazard, with the Belgium international expected to join Real Madrid.

Manchester United were also linked with Coutinho, however, Sport say the Red Devils will not sign the former Liverpool man this summer.
