Chelsea now ‘in dialogue’ with €100m Liverpool target and have winning poker hand

Chelsea are understood to lead Liverpool in the race for Hugo Ekitike this summer.

Both Premier League outfits are in desperate need of an offensive rehaul this summer. The centre-forward position, in particular, is a key area in this regard.

Whilst Christopher Nkunku’s average numbers have been far from disappointing, the Blues appear to have every intention of parting with the 27-year-old.

In which case, one of Europe’s most exciting young attackers in Ekitike could represent a wise investment.
