Alternatively, Mourinho could dip into the transfer market when looking for a potential replacement for Ashley Cole, and one option is Ricardo Rodriguez. Chelsea have reportedly turned their attentions to the Wolfsburg starlet, 21, who has been impressing in the Bundesliga in recent weeks. Jose Mourinho has already sent scouts to watch the youngster in action this season, with Rodriquez featuring prominently for the German club following his transfer from FC Zurich last year. Despite his age, the defender has already racked up 18 caps for his native Switzerland, and has put his suitors on alert by the fact that he is out of contract in a little over two years. His market value is also affordable - he's rated at just £9 million - and he has his best years ahead of him, which makes him an attractive option for the Blues as they build for an exciting future.
