Chelsea boss Mourinho targets Real Madrid attacker Jese

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is weighing up returning to Real Madrid for young attacker Jese Rodriguez. Mourinho gave Jese his first team debut while in charge of Real and is a big fan of the young forward.

Jese has just recovered from a long-term knee injury and has broken back into coach Carlo Ancelotti's first team. The Real boss conceded just last week that if Jese had stayed fit last season, they would've won the Primera Division.

Mourinho sees Jese as cover for Eden Hazard - and as a replacement for Andre Schurrle, who is set to return to Germany in the summer.

The Real Madrid attacker's current deal runs to 2017 and he's rated in the €20 million class.
