Chelsea are set to frustrate another one of their so-called 'Big Six' rivals by joining the race to sign Wolves midfielder Matheus Nunes.
The Portugal international, 24, is on Liverpool's transfer shortlist but he cannot leave Molineux in January having already played for two clubs this season. Nunes made two outings for former team Sporting Lisbon before joining Wolves for £38million last August.
Chelsea have already hijacked two transfers under Todd Boehly's ownership by beating Arsenal to Mykhaylo Mudryk's signature earlier this month. They also signed Joao Felix, who was a target for the Gunners and Manchester United, on loan from Atletico Madrid.
