Chelsea have suffered a major transfer blow as they are set to lose out to Liverpool for the signature of Stoke City number one, Jack Butland.
According to Football.London, the Stoke City keeper is keen to join the Jurgen Klopp revolution at Liverpool.
Chelsea had been considering Butland as a replacement for Thibaut Courtois who looks set to join Real Madrid at some point for personal reasons.
However, Butland has reportedly set his sight on a move to Anfield.
Liverpool have been linked with a move for a new shot stopper as Simon Mignolet and Loris karius have both come under increased scrutiny for their persistent poor showings.
The Reds are preparing for a major assault on the Premier League and Champions League next season, and have been backing up their ambition with some spending in the transfer market.
Bristol born Butland is one of the most highly rated English goal keeper now, he has kept 2 clean sheets in 34 games this season.
