Jose Mourinho has confirmed that Chelsea are keen on Brazilian forward Talisca, reports the Daily Express.
Talisca, aged 20 has impressed whilst at Portuguese side Benfica, having signed for the Lisbon giants in just July.
The recent transfer from the Brazilian League however hasn’f fazed Mourinho, who has claimed that he has been tracking the highly rated youngster for two years, since the summer of 2012.
Mourinho has also hit out at the comments by Benfica staff that he has no idea who Talisca was, before Benfica signed him, starting a war of words.
“I’m glad to see he’s reading Alexandre Dumas. I admire him for that. I’m not that cultural. I limit myself to grammar.
“I don’t like when a professional colleague doubt my words. Talisca is one of two players we’ve been scouting since 2012.”
