Chelsea boss Mourinho: We want to keep Traore

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho says he wants to sign Bertrand Traore.

The young Burkino Faso international midfielder scored in victory over Malaysia yesterday, but remains uncontracted.

"We want to keep him," said Mourinho. "But we have to wait until he is eighteen and he gets a work permit. We must accept the rules. He plays for his country and Burkina Faso is currently one of the major footballing nations of Africa."
