Chelsea boss Mourinho targets Atletico Madrid star Koke with Luis swap offer

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is chasing Atletico Madrid midfielder Koke.

The London Evening Standard says he intends to use Filipe Luis as part of a swap offer for Koke.

Mourinho is a huge admirer of Koke and Chelsea made an enquiry for his services before the 23-year-old signed a new five-year deal at Atletico 10 months ago.

But the contract extension and the £48m release clause included within it, will not put Chelsea off from seeing whether a transfer can be done this summer instead.
