The Blues remain absolutely determined to lure the promising England Under-21 international away from the south coast club in this month’s transfer window says the Daily Star, and that resolve has apparently only been hardened in recent days in light of the turmoil that has enveloped St Mary’s of late.
The west Londoners are in urgent need of a successor to their veteran left-back Ashley Cole, with the England international having largely been frozen out of the first-team picture at Stamford Bridge for much of this campaign.
And now it is believed that Mourinho is lining up a big-money £30m move for the young Englishman to finally resolve his long-running problem at left back going forward.
