Chelsea are reportedly leading the race with Liverpool to sign Dean Huijsen and could battle the Reds for at least three more signings in the summer.

Liverpool, Arsenal, Newcastle and Real Madrid have expressed an interest, although the Spanish side are reportedly unlikely to make a move this summer.

Liverpool will be a familiar rival to Chelsea this summer.



Sky Sports report that while Manchester United are favourites to sign Huijsen’s Bournemouth team-mate, Chelsea and Liverpool are also interested in a potential deal.

If United fail to acquire the winger, their Premier League rivals could take advantage of the opportunity.

Semenyo, who has also been linked with Arsenal, is one of the most productive wide men outside of the Big Six, scoring 10 goals and providing six assists this season.

Chelsea and Liverpool are also reportedly monitoring West Ham’s Mohammed Kudus ahead of the summer.

CaughtOffside report that the 24-year-old could be available for less than his £85m release clause as the struggling Hammers seek to rebuild Graham Potter’s squad.

Kudus has struggled for consistency since joining West Ham in 2023, but could kickstart his Premier League career in a stronger team.

Meanwhile, the Daily Mail report that fellow forward Jesus Rodriguez has caught the eye of Chelsea and Liverpool.

The tricky winger, 19, is shining on the opposite wing to Man Utd outcast Antony at Real Betis.

It is expected to be a busy summer for both Chelsea and Liverpool - and the Premier League duo will battle each other for some of the biggest transfer window deals.
