Jose Mourinho hints at Marco Amelia signing

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has confirmed that the Blues are looking to bring in goalkeeper Marco Amelia on a free transfer.

Amelia has been without a club since leaving Perugia during the summer, and Mourinho has revealed that the 33-year-old Italian could be brought in as cover for Asmir Begovic.

The 52-year-old told reporters: "We will try. We have in this moment Marco Amelia working with us for a couple of days.

"He is an experienced keeper. He knows what a big club is and the responsibility. He has played Champions League and the national team.

"We need some stability until Courtois is back. Maybe he can give us that."

First-choice goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has been ruled out until at least December.
