Chelsea boss Mourinho set to sign Porto winger Atsu

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is being linked with Porto winger Christian Atsu.

The Mirror says Mourinho is set to seal the £3.5million signing of Atsu.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers had been chasing the 21-year-old Ghana international, but failed to agree a fee with his Portuguese club.

Atsu, who has a year remaining on his contract, is now set to travel to England for a medical and to discuss personal terms.

It is unclear whether the player, who had also been tracked by his former Porto boss Andre Villas-Boas at Spurs this summer, will be part of Mourinho's plans immediately or go out on loan.
