Jose Mourinho has outlined his intentions to improve his Chelsea team by making “a couple of critical signings” during the summer transfer window.
Mourinho explained that while he will not be making wholesale changes to his squad he would be on the lookout for a striker.
He said: “The only thing I can say is that the market is closed. Chelsea will be calm and quiet during that period. We are not going to be the noisy team buying and selling and selling and buying.”

Chelsea’s attacking line up of Fernando Torres, Samuel Eto’o and Demba Ba have struggled to score goals in the prolific numbers that Mourinho desires this season and as a result Chelsea are expected to sign Diego Costa from Atletico Madrid.
Regarding that speculation, Mourinho said: “We are going to do, I would say, a couple of critical signings. Is a striker a target for us? Yes. We never deny that. Is Diego a good player? He is but he's an Atletico Madrid player so I can't say much.”
