The Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has revealed he had no hand in the signing of Senegalese Papy Djilobodji.
Djilobodji was signed by the EPL champions on deadline day for a reported fee of £4million but according to Mourinho, the capture of the big centre back was the choice of someone he trust completely.
Djilobodji was however left out from Chelsea’s 25-man squad for the Champions’ League group stage and Mourinho has disclosed why the Senegalese was dropped.

Mourinho said: “[Djilobodji] was not my choice.
“He was the choice of someone I trust completely. That’s the same thing.
“The person that told me Djilobodji could be a fantastic squad player for us is same who said [Kurt] Zouma could be fantastic.
“He’s not in the Champions League squad because if he is, Kenedy and [Bertrand] Traore are not on the list. If they are not, you would ask why. The Champions League is good for their development.
