Chelsea boss Mourinho explains not buying January striker

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is refusing to panic over their lack of striker signing this month.

Mourinho says he won't settle for second best during the winter transfer window.

"We know what we are doing and if we do (something) now we are not doing the right thing," the Portuguese said.

"I know that people probably can think 'what they need is a striker to score 30 goals like (Sergio) Aguero, (Edin) Dzeko, (Luis) Suarez' and all these guys.

"But the most important thing for us is not today. The most important thing for us is the perspective of future and doing the right thing.

"When we do the striker, we do the right thing. And the right thing is not, for sure, now.

"Normally the market is easier in the summer, more time, more players, more changes. It's much better."
