Chelsea to battle with Liverpool for £42m star as Boehly 'add' midfielder to transfer shortlist

Wolves midfielder Matheus Nunes is the latest player to be linked with a move to Chelsea during the January transfer window.

The Blues have already heavily strengthened their squad this month, bringing in six signings in the form of Joao Felix, Mykhailo Mudryk, Noni Madueke, Benoit Badiashile, Andrey Santos and David Datro Fofana. Still, football.london understands that the west London club want to bring in at least two more players before the window slams shut next week.

Now, The Telegraph have reported that Nunes, who has been heavily linked with a move to Liverpool in recent times, is on a list of potential targets for Todd Boehly alongside Brighton star Moises Caicedo, Everton's Amadou Onana and West Ham United man Declan Rice. Chelsea are currently light of options in the middle of the park, with N'Golo Kante missing the majority of the season through injury whilst Jorginho is widely expected to leave Stamford Bridge at the end of the current campaign when his contract expires this summer.
