Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has admitted there was some English team’s who were interested in Benfica midfielder Talisca.

The 20 year-old – full name Anderson Souza Conceição – joined As Águias in July from Bahia for €4 million and has so far netted three times in five appearances this season.

“There were many English teams, great teams and important, that wanted him," Mourinho told TVI24. "Moreover, there were those who wanted to sign him, even though he could not play for now.

“They wanted to sign him, put him in a minor league [on loan] and hope that eventually he came to be selected [for Brazil"s national team], and would consequently then get the work permit."
