London: José Mourinho’s plan for a full-scale assault on the Premier League title took a step closer to being completed on Wednesday as Chelsea confirmed the signing of the Brazil defender Filipe Luís for a fee understood to be around £20m.
After Ashley Cole was unveiled as a Roma player on Tuesday, Filipe Luís has been signed as a direct replacement for the former England defender after helping Atlético Madrid win their first league title since 1996.
