On the rumours linking him with Premier League rivals Arsenal and Chelsea, Suarez said: "It's good to know that I am still valued by teams like Arsenal. Friends call me up to ask if I am moving to Chelsea, to which I laugh.

"Don't believe everything you read or hear! I am sometimes off the grid. I don't even know where my phone is sometimes."

When Jose Mourinho describes a striker as ‘world class’ you can probably rest assured said player has something about him. Those are exactly the two words used by the Special One in relation to Burak Yilmaz, fuelling speculation the Galatasaray hitman could be on his way to join Mourinho at Chelsea. So, what’s all the fuss about? Read on…

Early days: Yilmaz is £20million-or-so-worth of coveted striking gold now but the 27-year-old hasn’t always had scouts waving lucrative contracts in front of him. He flopped at both Besiktas and Fenerbahce before resurrecting his career over the course of two-and-a-bit seasons at Trabzonspor, where he banged in 55 goals in 75 games to catch’s Gala’s attention last summer in a 5million euro (£4.3million) deal.

Barcelona have launched a £30million bid for David Luiz – but Chelsea will refuse to sell him at that price.

Barca, who for all of their quality remain short of options at the back, are prepared to increase their offer for the talented defender who they view as their long-term successor to captain Carles Puyol.

Sources claim it is 50-50 whether Luiz will stay at Chelsea.

CHELSEA SIGN MARK SCHWARZER

Chelsea Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer on a free transfer.

The Australian international has signed a one-year contract that will keep him with the club until next summer's World Cup in Brazil, for which he helped his country seal qualification last month.

'It's a phenomenal club,' he said upon signing. 'It's one of the biggest and best clubs in the world, and it's an honour to sign for Chelsea. I didn't take much convincing to come here.'

Mourinho confirms that three additions to the squad for next season are Romelu Lukaku, Kevin De Bruyne and Tomas Kalas, after their successful respective loans at West Brom, Werder Bremen and Vitesse.

'They are good players with a very good value in the market and we have these players this season for free, after an investment that the club did before,' he says.

'After the development of the players on loan it is the right moment for them to be back. They are very young with space to develop, they will be better year after year and I can imagine in five years they are much better than today - but what they have today is more than enough to belong to this squad.

YEOVIL LOAN FOR CLIFFORD

Under-21 midfielder Billy Clifford has today (Wednesday) joined Yeovil Town on loan until 3 January.

The 20-year-old has been with Chelsea since schoolboy age, signing professional terms in the summer of 2010 having helped us lift the FA Youth Cup as an attack-minded right-back.

Jose Mourinho is closing in on Chelsea's prime midfield target Daniele de Rossi, as Roma agreed a fee on the Italy star's replacement.

The Serie A giants are ready to let De Rossi go after completing the signing of PSV Eindhoven's Kevin Strootman.

But Roma are demanding that the Londoners loan them teenage Brazilian full-back Wallace as part of the £11million transfer of De Rossi, 29.

We revealed last week that Mourinho, who tried to sign De Rossi at both Inter Milan and Real Madrid, believes the Italian will be the perfect fit for the midfield fulcrum of his new-look Blues.

Roma wanted to have a replacement for De Rossi sorted out before allowing him to go, and PSV technical director Marcel Brands has now confirmed a £15m agreement is in place for Strootman.

That will free De Rossi to join the Blues on a four-year deal worth around £110,000 per week - as long as Chelsea are prepared to part with Wallace, a £4m capture from Fluminense who only joined up with his new team-mates on Monday, to sweeten the move.

Mourinho sees the experienced De Rossi as the key component to give his side ballast in midfield, initially alongside Frank Lampard, although in the expectation that Dutch recruit Marco van Ginkel will mature into a starter over the next year.

The "Special One" flies out to Bangkok on Thursday for the Asian leg of Chelsea's pre-season campaign after three days of training at their Cobham HQ.
