Chelsea boss Mourinho: I don't want to sell any of my strikers

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho insists he's not seeking to sell any of his strikers.

The manager is pleased with the reaction from the likes of Fernando Torres, Demba Ba and Romelu Lukaku.

"They are professional, they want to stay, they know that if somebody is coming it is hard, because normally somebody has to leave - and when a player is happy here and a player wants to stay here, and especially when a player is a professional, they give everything, like they are doing," Mourinho told chelseafc.com.

"But I never hide from the fact I want a squad of 22 so if somebody is coming it is a big motivation for them, and they are professionals especially and when you are professionals, you give everything like they are doing."
