    In recent years, Chelsea have become renowned for producing talented youngsters, only for their path to the first team to be blocked after years of heading out on loan.<\/p>\n

    But Mourinho, who won three Premier League titles across two managerial spells at Chelsea, believes his former player Frank Lampard can use the likes of Kurt Zouma and Tammy Abraham as new signings after their loan returns.<\/p>\n

    “It depends on what you have in the academy, that’s the point,” Mourinho told Sky Sports<\/a>. “I think every manager in the world loves to play kids from the academy.<\/p>\n

    “The question is: what is the product from the academy? What can you work with to improve?<\/p>\n

    “I think Chelsea is a very special club in relation to that. I just give an example: Chelsea needs a centre-back – Kurt Zouma! You don’t need to buy, you don’t need to spend. Zouma!<\/p>\n

    “He’s champion of England, he played for Chelsea, played for Stoke in the Premier League, played for Everton in the Premier League, played for France. He’s your player, he’s on loan, where are you going to buy a better player than him? You already have him.<\/p>\n
