Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has handed Chelsea a transfer boost ahead of the summer after admitting his side won't be signing Napoli's Lorenzo Insigne.
Despite having a transfer ban handed to them by Fifa for the next two windows Maurizio Sarri and the backroom team at Stamford Bridge are still identifying potential new signings in case they are able to overturn or defer the ban.
Insigne is one of those players.

But Liverpool won't be one of those competing with Chelsea for Insigne's signature after Klopp admitted in his press conference on Thursday that they won't sign Insigne.
