Arsenal & Chelsea transfer target Sami Khedira: who would he suit more?

4) Chelsea

Like Munich, Chelsea already have an abundance of midfielders, with the partnership of Cesc Fabregas and Nemanja Matic proving dominant thus far. When facing a more challenging fixture, Mourinho does like to draft in a third central player – usually Ramires or John Obi Mikel.

While the World Cup winner would be a step up from that duo, he won’t be content with being on the bench for the remainder of the Blues games. Mourinho knows the player well from his Madrid days, and that could help him secure the signing, but there seems no real need.
