Chelsea boss Mourinho targets Southampton midfielder Wanyama

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is eyeing Southampton midfielder Victor Wanyama.

The Daily Star Sunday says Mourinho is set to make a £20m transfer window bid as he looks to strengthen his midfield options following his side's poor start to the season.

Mourinho wants to improve his central midfield options and has had teenagers Ruben Neves at Porto and Marko Grujic at Red Star Belgrade scouted.

Juventus star Paul Pogba is also on their radar but competition from Barcelona for the Frenchman makes Wanyama more realistic.

Tottenham offered £18m plus Erik Lamela on loan in the last days of the transfer window but Southampton refused to sell.
