Chelsea Transfers: 5 Real Madrid Players Jose Mourinho Will Bring To Stamford Bridge

4. Pepe

Jose Mourinho has a tendency to bring his favourite players with him when he moves clubs, and has also been known in the past to surround himself with a Portuguese contingent. One more Real Madrid player who could be following the Portuguese to Stamford Bridge next season then is centre-back Pepe. The defender has been linked with a move to the Blues for quite some time now, and Chelsea's defence this season has quite often looked rather fragile. Last January, reports suggested Real would be prepared to offload the Portuguese in return for David Luiz, and considering the Brazilian has at times been far from convincing at Stamford Bridge, he may yet be used as a make-weight in any move for Pepe.
