JOSE MOURINHO has explained why he splashed £27million to land former Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas.
Chelsea signed the midfielder from Barcelona after the Gunners rejected the opportunity to bring him back to the Emirates.
But Mourinho swooped to offer Fabregas a Premier League lifeline, paying £27m for his services.
And the Blues boss believes the 27-year-old is exactly what his side need as he plots a title challenge for next season.
"He is the kind of player we [Chelsea] need," Mourinho said.
"Not just for his qualities as a player but also his competitive personality.
"He is a player in the best years of his career – 26, 27, 28. He knows England well, he knows the Premiership well, so he will not need time to adapt.
"I think he is the kind of player who will come and train for a couple of weeks and be ready to prove himself."
