José Mourinho Wants to Bring Algerian Defender to Chelsea

José Mourinho wants to strengthen his Chelsea defence this summer and is targeting Napoli left-back Faouzi Ghoulam to do just that, according to reports in France.

Le 10 Sport are reporting that the Blues boss is keen to land the 24-year-old Algerian international.

Chelsea have been playing César Azpilicueta as their left-back for the past two seasons despite originally being side as a right-back. The Spaniard is backed up by Filipe Luís who is being linked with a move back to Atlético Madrid after seeing limited opportunities since joining last summer.

After a solid second season with Napoli, Ghoulam is attracting interest from more than just the reigning Premier League champions.
