Jose Mourinho eyeing stunning double Premier League swoop for Fenerbahce

Jose Mourinho is keeping tabs on two Premier League players ahead of Turkey's transfer deadline.

Jose Mourinho is eyeing not one but TWO Premier League players ahead of Turkey's transfer deadline, according to stunning reports.

The UK transfer window slammed shut last Friday but clubs in Turkey can still bring in new players with their market still open.

The Turkish transfer window closes on September 13 and ahead of the deadline looming, Fenerbahce are keeping tabs on a Premier League duo.

Mourinho has already been very busy this summer, having signed the likes of Youssef En-Nesyri, Caglar Soyuncu and Allan Saint-Maximin.

Sofyan Amrabat, who spent last season on loan at Manchester United, has also been drafted in.

But Mourinho's still hellbent on securing new talent, with Kieran Trippier and Ben Chilwell thought to be on the club's radar.

According to HITC, Fenerbahce are one of three Turkish sides who have enquired about signing the 33-year-old on loan with an obligation to buy on a permanent deal.

It comes after the defender 'agreed personal terms' with another Super Lig outfit.

The former England international's future lies away from St. James' Park, with a summer move expected.

He's played two games this season - both substitute appearances.

And, according to The Telegraph, Chelsea are open to sending Chilwell on loan to Turkey, with the player facing at 'least four months in the football wilderness' if he stays.

Mourinho is believed to be keen on acquiring his services in what would be a double swoop if he also signed Trippier.

Unlike Trippier, Chilwell has yet to feature for Enzo Maresca as he's deemed surplus to requirements at Chelsea.

The 27-year-old, who joined the club in a transfer worth £45 million, played 13 league games last season and is unlikely to get minutes unless he completes a switch this summer.
