Chelsea Transfers: 5 Signings That Could Attract Jose Mourinho

3. João Moutinho

Along with Ashley Cole, Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard has been told to find another club when his contract expires with the Blues in the summer*, which puts Chelsea in the market for another midfielder. Moutinho has been linked with a move to London rivals Tottenham recently, but reports are suggesting the Blues are going to make a January offer for the Porto midfielder as they build for a future without veteran Lampard. The player has a £28.5 million** buyout clause, according to reports, but that's small change to a man of Abramovic's wealth. By adding a Portuguese national to the side, Mourinho would feel more at home at the Bridge. Source(s): * BBC ** Sports Mole
