Chelsea boss shares the same agent as the midfielder

Chelsea’s pursuit of Belgium international Axel Witsel could be aided by the fact that Jose Mourinho shares the same agent as the midfielder.

Both are represented by Jorge Mendes, and it’s thought Mourinho will talk with him to get him in an attempt persuade the ex-Benfica midfielder to move to Stamford Bridge.

However, they will face competition from Premier League rivals Manchester United and Serie A champions Juventus for his signature this summer, with Mourinho hoping his close relationship with Mendes will sway the deal in his favour.

Witsel is currently playing for Russian side Zenit Saint Petersburg having joined from Benfica in 2012, however is now after a new challenge following three years at the club.

The 26-year-old would provide healthy competition for Cesc Fabregas and Nemanja Matic and is an ideal signing with John Obi Mikel likely to leave the club.
