Liverpool are ready to hijack Chelsea's interest in Brazilian star Douglas Costa, according to reports.
Costa was heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge in January, and it is thought that Jose Mourinho will rekindle his interest in the player over the summer.
Last week it was claimed that Chelsea would look to offload Stoke loanee Victor Moses on a permanent deal to help create room for Costa at Stamford Bridge.
That was set to see Chelsea beat Manchester United and Arsenal - both linked with the Shakhtar ace - to the 24-year-old in a £20million deal.
But Liverpool will now look to get in on the action, according to the Metro.It is claimed that Liverpool won't be able to compete when it comes to the financial offer on the table, but will guarantee regular playing time, which could swing things in the Anfield outfit's favour.
