Chelsea boss Mourinho goes for Cavani after Ba sale

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is ready to bid for PSG striker Edinson Cavani. The Daily Star says Cavani has instructed his agent to investigate a potential move to the Premier League.

Cavani, who has also interested Manchester United, is reportedly unhappy about being used out wide by PSG.

Chelsea need a frontman after Samuel Eto'o and Demba Ba's exits.

Eto'o has been released and Ba has joined Besiktas, while Romelu Lukaku also looks set to leave.

Mourinho has spent £32m on Diego Costa but he's one of just two strikers - Fernando Torres is the other - in the Blues ranks.
