Former Chelsea midfielder Craig Burley believes that Jose Mourinho will opt against using Demba Ba or Fernando Torres as his main striker.

Former Chelsea midfielder Craig Burley believes that Jose Mourinho will snub strikers Demba Ba and Fernando Torres in favour of a new frontman.

The recently-departed Real Madrid coach officially returned to Stamford Bridge yesterday, and Burley believes that he will be hunting for new stars in the summer transfer window.

"There's no doubt they're going to have to sign some big players," Burley told TalkSPORT. "He's not going to go into the season with Demba Ba or Fernando Torres as his main striker."

The Portuguese coach, who left the Blues in 2007 following a three-year stint, has put pen to paper on a four-year contract.
