Chelsea boss Mourinho impressed by 'long-term' trialist Bertrand Traore

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho admits he's been impressed by Bertrand Traore.

The young midfielder has been connected with Chelsea since 2010, without actually signing terms.

A full Burkina Faso international, 17 year-old Traore played in Chelsea's win over the Singha Allstars.

Mourinho said: "It was positive, even the boy Bertrand Traore, he is not a Chelsea player, he is a trialist, a 17-year-old kid and he had some movement and some touch on the ball, so you can imagine he is a good kid for the youth team."
