Transfer News: Mourinho Chases After Madrid's Verane

                          

The Blues are keen on signing Madrid’s Varane.

Real Madrid centre-back Raphael Varane has emerged as a transfer target for Chelsea as manager Jose Mourinho wants to reunite with the youngster, according to Spanish daily Marca.

The 21-year-old has been greatly impressing at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu ever since Mourinho signed the Frenchman for Los Blancos from Lens in 2011.

Initially it was Zinedine Zidane that first spotted the potential of Varane, but after Madrid signed the defender for £8.2m it was the Portuguese coach that gave him his chance in the Spanish capital.
