Five Porto players for Chelsea and Mourinho in January

Vincent Aboubakar

With Diego Costa misfiring this term a new striker will be at the top of the Blues shopping list and the Cameroonian has scored eight in 16 across all competitions this season.

Likened to compatriot Samuel Eto’o, the 23-year-old is a prodigious talent and has helped his club get over the sale of Jackson Martinez to Atletico Madrid.

Hector Herrera

An energetic box-to-box midfielder, the Mexican would give Chelsea much-needed dynamism in the centre of the park and at just 25 has many years ahead of him at the top of his game.

Mourinho likes this all-action type of player, though he won’t come cheap with Porto reportedly setting a €40m price tag last summer.

Bruno Martins Indi

The enthusiastic centre back is just what Chelsea require at the back and his infectious personality could be what the Blues need in the dressing room to boost morale.

He also has talent and has developed his game well since his switch to the Portuguese side after the last World Cup, where he helped the Netherlands finish third.
