Ghana midfielder Sulley Muntari has been linked with a surprise return to England to giants Chelsea, according to rumours in the Italian press.

Chelsea are set to part ways with legend Frank Lampard as the English star is set to join newly-promoted QPR and Mourinho sees Muntari as the best replacement for Lampard.

Muntari worked under Mourinho during his spell at Inter Milan and won the Uefa Champions League with him.

While the Ghana star is not enjoying regular action at AC Milan, Mourinho feels the 29-year-old is being under-used at the San Siro and would bring him to the Stamford Bridge after the 2014 World Cup.
