Tottenham's Mousa Dembele has emerged on the transfer wishlist of Chelsea according to reports.

The Daily Mirror suggests that Blues boss Jose Mourinho is a big admirer of the Belgian midfielder and could come forward with an offer when the winter transfer window opens.

28-year-old Dembele, who is also on the radar of Stoke City, has been in fine form since returning to Mauricio Pochettino's starting line-up in October but their willingness to offload the former Fulham star this past summer has Chelsea feeling like they could lure him across London to Stamford Bridge.

The report indicates that Mourinho will inform the club to make a £20million bid for Dembele as he strives to freshen his midfield that has underperformed so far this term having won the Premier League title and Capital One Cup last campaign.
