Chelsea admit De Bruyne could leave in January

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho admitted that Belgian midfielder Kevin De Bruyne does want a move away, as suggested by his agent, because of a lack of first-team opportunities. "This is the period for agents to be famous," he said.

"Some agents like to speak when things are done, some like to speak when things are not started, some are addicted to Twitter and social networks and want to share info with everybody.

"We know that Kevin did not adapt very well to the difficult life a Chelsea player has. They have to give a lot, work a lot and accept competitiveness.

"Kevin is a fantastic player with fantastic potential but has found it difficult to adapt to this situation.

"We know he fancies a move. I don't want him to leave but we have a couple of contacts made by other clubs. I don't know if he will go."
