Jose Mourinho spoke to the midfielder about a move when he was still a teenager - and he is delighted he was not swayed by his countryman's charms
Leicester star Adrien Silva is delighted that a potential move to Chelsea in 2005 went up in smoke when he was a boy at Sporting CP.
Silva is set for a Sunday reunion with the London club in an FA Cup quarter-final, and he certainly does not regret turning them down as a teenager.
He was scouted as a 15-year-old by the Stamford Bridge side in 2005, with Jose Mourinho even taking time to speak to him and two young team-mates.
