Chelsea and Liverpool locked horns twice this summer, with the Blues coming out on top in the battles for Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia, and Liverpool left licking their wounds.
Battle could yet commence for a third time, with CaughtOffside reporting that both teams are watching Real Betis wonderkid Assane Diao.
The 18 year old has a £26m release clause, and is starting to attract a lot of attention from top teams. The winger has started playing for the senior Betis team this season and has already scored a couple of goals. He looks like one of the brightest talents to come out of that important academy for some time.
Chelsea spent vast sums on upgrading to Raheem Sterling, Mykhailo Mudryk and Noni Madueke out wide, and so there’s a question of where Diao would fit.
It could end up being third time lucky for the Reds – or Chelsea could complete the set and humiliate them again.
