Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has caused a stir ahead of his side's Premier League clash with Arsenal by claiming that Cesc Fabregas joined the Blues to win titles, the Sun reports.

The ex-Gunners ace moved from Barcelona to west London in the summer and reportedly snubbed the chance to reunite with Arsene Wenger.

And his new boss claims that the Spaniard is a player motivated by a desire to win trophies.

Mourinho said: "I promised him we'd build a team very adapted to his style of play.

"That he was going to be an important player in our project. And that, normally, good projects end with titles. He was looking for that."

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has admitted that he cannot rely on star striker Daniel Sturridge, according to Starsport.

The Reds ace has missed the majority of the season through injury and could now be ruled out for the rest of the campaign.

And the Kop boss knows that he must sign another top striker this summer because of Sturridge's injury woes.
