Mourinho taps up Drogba, Jenas

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON — Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho says he could bid for Chelsea striker Didier Drogba or Tottenham midfielder Jermaine Jenas in the January transfer window.

"These are both players that I like," Mourinho wrote in Saturday’s editions of The Daily Telegraph.

Drogba has been linked with a move to Italy after being sidelined following a poor performance in Chelsea’s 3-0 loss to Manchester United two weeks ago.

"Drogba is a very special player for me, there is no doubt about it," Mourinho said. "We had a great relationship at Chelsea and he was an important player for me. Will something happen? I don’t know.

"I like players adapted to my style of play, my philosophy of play. If I know them and have a good feeling from the past it is better, but I always feel I can create this kind of good feeling with players that I have never worked with before."
