Chelsea are ready to splash £50million in the January transfer window on Marseille midfielder Giannelli Imbula and FC Porto defender Eliaquim Mangala.
Blues boss Jose Mourinho is eager to strengthen his squad in the New Year and has identified the duo as two of his top targets.
Centre back Mangala was on Manchester United’s radar during the summer but the move never materialised – with the Premier League champions unwilling to meet a reported buyout clause of around £37m, Metro informs.
