Douglas Costa: I want to work with Chelsea boss Mourinho

Shakhtar Donetsk star Douglas Costa is desperate to move to Chelsea. The Brazilian admits the chance to play for Blues manager Jose Mourinho is a big pull.

Speaking to GloboESporte.com, the 24-year-old spoke of his desire to play under Mourinho at Chelsea and said: "To play at Chelsea is a dream for any player. It is standing next to some of the best players in the world and competing with the world's best as well.

"But really, what catches my eye is the coach. He is a very intelligent coach and has been victorious wherever he went. One of the things that would make me happier to act at Chelsea would be this.

"He has won just about everything. He is among the best, if not the best. He is at the top."
