Jose Mourinho: 'Burak Yilmaz is world class'

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has hinted at a possible move for Burak Yilmaz by claiming that the Galatasaray striker is "world class".

The Blues and Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur have both recently been linked with the 27-year-old Turkish international.

"Burak could play for any team in the world," Mourinho is quoted as saying by The Metro. "He is world class."

Yilmaz scored 32 goals in all competitions last season as Gala claimed a 19th league title.
