"I'm pleased to say we haven't had any. Maybe they [Liverpool] haven't got my email because I haven't seen any," Barber joked.

Jacobs also revealed that the Ecuadorian is actually more on Chelsea's radar in recent weeks, after a mega-money move for Benfica's Enzo Fernandez stalled earlier this week.
