Jose Mourinho desperate to add firepower to squad

Chelsea have identified Atletico Madrid star Antoine Griezmann as their number-one target for the January transfer window.

The Blues are lacking firepower up front this season, with Diego Costa failing to continue his impressive form from his debut season, and Radamel Falcao and Loic Remy failing to impress.

Jose Mourinho is in desperate need of attacking flair at Stamford Bridge, which his team still struggling in the Premier League following their shock 1-0 home defeat to AFC Bournemouth yesterday evening.

Griezmann Wanted

Chelsea are lacking goals and firepower and that’s why they are aiming to sign Griezmann from Atletico.

Mourinho has been a long-term admirer of the Frenchman, and has watched him since his Real Sociedad days.

According to reports, Atletico want at least ÂŁ25million for the Frenchman, but are reluctant to sell him halfway through a season.

The latest transfer talks will further question Costa‘s long-term future at the Premier League side, with Galatasaray linked with a shock move for the Spaniard.
