In an exclusive interview with Sky Sports, Mourinho has said Chelsea are likely to make one more signing this summer. He also confirmed this signing will not be Pedro.
Sky believe Chelsea will improve their initial bid for the young English centre back John Stones. Mourinho has confirmed it’s his defence he wants to strengthen.
I am looking for a defender to finish this balance in our squad and after that we are ready to answer anything that can happen to our players
The Portuguese manager then highlighted Chelsea could end up signing more than one player before the season starts, only if a current player decides to leave.
“If one of our players in a specific position wants to leave, we agree a deal for a player to leave and we have to answer immediately and bring in somebody else, because at the moment we have balance in the squad and we cannot lose that.â€
He finally confirmed recent reports linking the Premier league champions with Barcelona winger Pedro are false and he won’t be joining Chelsea at this moment in time because we have the perfect balance of wingers.
I have five wingers, if I lose one maybe I am interested in another but at this moment I have balance and quality and numbers.
“It’s a big challenge for us to go through the season with basically the same team and squad from last season.â€
