Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola claimed that Matheus Nunes was "one of the best players in the world" last year - but it's Liverpool, rather than the reigning Premier League champions, who look set to try and prise the Wolves midfielder away from Molineux this month.
The Reds and City have struck up a fairly bitter rivalry in recent years after battling it out for domestic dominance but Jurgen Klopp's side have been off the pace in the top-flight this term and are in need of reinforcements in the winter transfer window.
Cody Gakpo has already arrived from PSV Eindhoven; and it now appears as though Klopp and the Anfield hierarchy have their sights set on bolstering their beleaguered midfield.
