Stat Attack: No Sevilla player have won more take-ons than Alberto Moreno (33) in La Liga this season.

Jose Mourinho wants a replacement for Ashley Cole who will be out of contract at the end of the season. Cesar Azpilicueta is currently playing for the left back position but Jose wants a permanent fix so that Cesar can return to his favoured position.

Chelsea’s long term target Luke Shaw has already set his sights on moving to Old Trafford in the summer and Guardian have reported that a £30m deal for the youngster is virtually complete.

Sky Italia journalist Fabrizio Romano reported that Chelsea have lodged an official bid for Moreno via his twitter account.
