Chelsea handed Ousmane Dembele boost as Liverpool make transfer decision after Sadio Mane deal

Liverpool’s decision to conclude their transfer business early this summer spells good news for Chelsea amid their ongoing interest in winger Ousmane Dembele.

However, following Liverpool’s recent capture of Benfica forward Darwin Nunez for an initial £64million, reports suggest that their summer spending is very close to being over. The Champions League finalists have agreed a deal with Aberdeen to sign 18-year-old right-back Calvin Ramsey for around £4million, joining Nunez and the club’s only other singing Fabio Carvalho from newly-promoted Fulham.
