Paul Pogba could be set for a return to the Premier League this summer[GETTY]Jose Mourinho is keen to add a world-class midfielder to his ranks after losing the versatile Brazilian to the French champions, and is determined to move quickly before the imminent World Cup throws any transfer plans into disarray.
With England veteran Frank Lampard also on the verge of leaving west London after his contract expired, the Blues suddenly look light in the middle of the park, and the Special One is willing to splash over £30million on one of the selected trio.
Former Manchester United star Paul Pogba is believed to be Mourinho's pick of the bunch after establishing himself as one of the world's finest playmakers despite being just 21.
His vision and composure on the ball makes him an ideal candidate to partner Nemanja Matic in a 4-2-3-1 formation, and Mourinho has urged the Chelsea hierarchy to make an enquiry as soon as possible.
The versatile Koke is another option after impressing the Special One during Chelsea's Champions League to Atletico, as is Tottenham's dynamic Brazilian bruiser Paulinho.
Koke was in fine form when Atletico took on Chelsea in the Champions League [GETTY]The ex-Corinthians hero was part of the side which defeated Chelsea in the 2012 Club World Cup final, and is believed to be unhappy at White Hart Lane after enduring a rocky relationship with the recently sacked Tim Sherwood.
However Daniel Levy is loath to sell one of his club's best players to a rival, and would attempt to block any approaches like he did during the Luka Modric saga of 2011.
