Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has admitted that the Premier League is getting harder to win and Crystal Palace’s capture of Yohann Cabaye confirms that.
The services of the Frenchman was secured by Alan Pardew from French Ligue 1 side Paris Saint German this summer after he failed to feature prominently for Les Parisiens last season.
Speaking to ESPN in an interview, Jose believes the ability of smaller clubs to capture Europe’s elite proves how difficult his task is to win the Premier League title.
Cabaye at Crystal Palace, a player that left Newcastle two years ago to go to Paris Saint-Germain to get lots of money on a big transfer fee is coming to Crystal Palace. The players that are going to Stoke; the players that are going to Everton; with the players that are going to every club in the Premier League it is getting much more difficult.
