Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho says new signing Nathan won't be with his squad next season.

The Brazilian last week finalised a £4.5m move to Stamford Bridge and will officially become a Blue when the transfer window opens on July 1.

He is unlikely to trouble the first-team squad in the short-term with a loan move to feeder club Vitesse Arnhem in the pipeline.

"Nathan will not be in Chelsea's squad next year, simple as that," Mourinho said.

"You buy, in very good circumstances before the price goes to the moon. You develop the player. He belongs to you, is on loan, and in the right moment you bring him back."
