Jose plots summer transfers

Jose Mourinho was back at his desk this morning planning how to bring Chelsea more trophies to delight the 250,000 fans who celebrated at the club's Premiership parade.

The Chelsea coach says there are pressing decisions to be made on new arrivals before he flies to Portugal with his wife and children for a holiday a week today.

Mourinho wants to strengthen his squad during the summer with a new left-back, a midfielder and a striker.

Yesterday, Chelsea showed off the Premiership and Carling Cup trophies on a threemile open-top bus tour down the King's Road, only hours after jetting in from Korea following a friendly. Mourinho stood at the back with owner Roman Abramovich and allowed his players to back in the glow of the crowd's affections, although at one point he sang along with the club's One Man Went To Mow anthem.

He said: "We went to Korea, which was half a holiday, and we had a bit of time to enjoy ourselves. Now it is time to enjoy and say goodbye and to say, 'See you again in July'. I won't see my players for five weeks and I will miss them.

"It's fantastic but I want to repeat this and give the fans more. I don't need much more for my squad. I just need to keep my champions, no more than that."
