Mourinho demanding Chelsea go after Valencia defender Gaya, Lyon ace Lacazette

Jose Mourinho is reportedly demanding that Chelsea make two players transfer priorities this summer.

The Sun suggests that the Portuguese tactician is determined to land Jose Gaya from Valencia and Alexandre Lacazette from Lyon as he looks to further strengthen his Premier League-winning squad.

It is believed that Mourinho wants the pursuit of the pair as part of the agreement for his proposed two-year contract extension at Stamford Bridge.

19-year old left-back Gaya is an exciting prospect and is seen as a player for the future while striker Lacazette is on the radar of a number of European clubs after firing home 27 goals for second-placed Lyon in France's top flight this term.
