Liverpool have jumped into the battle for Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo.
The Ecuador international saw an 80m bid from Chelsea rejected by the Seagulls last week.
The Blues remain in contact, but Liverpool are now in the hunt.
The Telegraph's Matt Law is reporting: "Understand Liverpool have outbid Chelsea for Moises Caicedo which would also help explain Chelsea's bid for (Romeo) Lavia.
"Suggestion however remains that Caicedo would prefer Chelsea move. More to follow."
