Hoddle: Mourinho transfer work made difference for Chelsea

Chelsea legend Glenn Hoddle says the Blues clinched the Premier League title thanks to their summer market work.

Hoddle hailed Jose Mourinho's transfer strategy this morning on talkSPORT.

"Jose Mourinho won the Premier League title because of his purchases last summer," he said

"He replaced really top players who were maybe in the autumn of their careers with Cesc Fabregas, Nemanja Matic and Diego Costa.

"That has elevated the squad from day one. Add that to Eden Hazard, Willian, John Terry and Thibaut Courtois.

"That was the icing on the cake. It was like a big jigsaw that he built. You saw in the first half of the season they played some magnificent football, people have forgotten that."
