Chelsea boss AVB wants two midfield signings: Modric? Neymar? Mata?

Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas admits he's eager to add two new midfield signings to his squad. As well as Tottenham playmaker Luka Modric, he has been linked with Valencia's Juan Mata, Liverpool's Raul Meireles, Porto's Joao Moutinho and the latter's wing-back team-mate Alvaro Pereira.

"That's a lot!" Villas-Boas quipped.

"Why don't we dwell on the names that already have been spoken about and never came?

"Neymar, (Samir) Nasri - how many names have been linked with Chelsea in the past and they didn't come?

"In our operations, in whatever we do or not in the market, we try to keep it as silent as possible."

He added: "We have been studying all kinds of options."
