Jose Mourinho hints at quiet transfer window for Chelsea

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho believes that it will be tough to strengthen his squad this summer, as he already possesses some of the best players in the world.

Jose Mourinho has hinted that he may not delve into the transfer market this summer, because he is happy with his current Chelsea squad.

The Blues boss recruited a number of star names last year, including Nemanja Matic, Cesc Fabregas and Diego Costa, who each played key parts in the club's Premier League title success this season.

There was also plenty of movement in the opposite direction, as Mourinho offloaded fringe players to make way for his new purchases.

However, it may be a far quieter transfer window this time out, with the Portuguese telling reporters: "The players I am looking for are my players, the players I want to keep.

"Last season I had players I wanted to sell. How can I find a better striker than Diego Costa? A better midfielder than Nemanja Matic? A better right-back than Branislav Ivanovic?"

Despite suggesting that he will not strengthen his side, Mourinho has acknowledged that the Blues will have to improve on the field next season if they are to claim back-to-back titles.
