Despite bringing in Cesc Fabregas following the departure of Chelsea legend Frank Lampard, Jose Mourinho believes that bringing in 19 year old Rabiot from French champions PSG will add more depth and more versatility to his squad.
Chelsea have reportedly had a bid of £7,000,000 for Rabiot rejected but Mourinho looks ready to hit back with a £10,000,000 to steal the midfielder from under the noses of Premier League rivals Arsenal.
Mourinho had previously had his eyes set on Juventus sensation Paul Pogba but the sight of his £60,000,000 asking price caused the Portuguese to seek an alternative, and with Rabiot falling down the pecking order at PSG, with the likes of Blaise Matuidi and Yohan Cabaye in the side, Mourinho has both eyes firmly locked on the youngster and hopes to wrap a deal up before Chelsea kick off the new season away at Premier League new boys Burnley.
