Giannelli Imbula – Marseille (£15m)
Described as a young Nemanja Matic and the young, solid, defensive presence in the middle Mourinho adores so much.
At 22, he’d be a cheaper option than most others touted and would only improve.
Alexandre Lacazette – Lyon (£20m)
With Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool also in the market for the hot-shot Ligue 1 leading scorer, Chelsea would certainly have their work cut out both finding a fee the others couldn’t match and convincing the young Frenchman that he should give up his starting place with Lyon for a bit-part role at Stamford Bridge.
