Liverpool and Chelsea 'set to fight it out for £84m-rated Bundesliga star this summer'... as the Premier League giants eye reinforcements in attack

Liverpool and Chelsea are reportedly in a race to sign one of the Bundesliga's most exciting young forwards.

The champions are thought to be aware of the lingering interest around Darwin Nunez - from Saudi Arabia and Spain - and have looked at replacements for the Urguayan if a move away materialises.

Meanwhile, it is believed that Chelsea's priority this summer is to sign a striker and a right-footed winger.

Indeed, the Blues are interested in Eintracht Frankfurt star Hugo Ekitike, according to The Athletic.

The forward - who scored 22 goals in 45 games in all competitions for the Bundesliga outfit last season - is believed to be valued at £83.
