Chelsea's Final Two Transfer Targets Revealed?

Chelsea's Final Two Transfer Targets Revealed?

Chelsea have had a poor start to their campaign and owner Roman Abramovich has now reportedly agreed to open his wallet for manager Jose Mourinho's final targets – a defender and a winger.

Mourinho previously stated that he is happy with his squad and would not bring anybody else in, with the exception a replacement for left back Filipe Luis and another defender.

However, it seems the Blues' poor start to the new campaign – Chelsea failed to win any of their first three competitive games – has changed Mourinho's mind.

It is public knowledge the Portuguese tactician wants Everton defender John Stones, which has upset Toffees manager Roberto Martinez, but the 21-year-old Englishman will not come cheap.

According to the Daily Star, Abramovich is prepared to pay up to £35 million for Stones, with Chelsea having had their initial bids for the player rejected.

The second name in the mix is Atletico Madrid winger Antoine Griezmann, for whom Abramovich has granted a further £21 million.

However, it remains to be seen whether that amount would be enough for the French forward, who was impressive in La Liga last season.

So far, Mourinho hasn't bought any player who will improve his starting line-up, with Radamel Falcao (loan), Asmir Begovic and Abdul Baba Rahman all likely to start on the bench.

Do you think Chelsea need to spend before the end of the transfer window or can they get by with the current squad they have? Have your say in the comments section below.
