Chelsea Transfer News: Jose Mourinho Reportedly 'Fuming' at Lack of Signings
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is reportedly concerned about his club's lack of summer arrivals after the reigning Premier League champions were held to a 2-2 draw by Swansea City on the opening day of the 2015-16 season.
The Swans were fully deserving of their point at Stamford Bridge on Saturday and the Welsh outfit proved the Blues are unlikely to have things all their own way this term.
Chelsea have made no significant additions over the summer, the arrival of the under-performing Radamel Falcao being the most high-profile move.

As a result, Mourinho is apparently "fuming," according to Martin Samuel's headline in the Daily Mail.
Per Samuel, "Mourinho has every right to be worried," as the Blues have effectively moved backwards by making limited signings, with most other teams in the league—including their main title rivals—having strengthened significantly.
Chelsea's two Premier League clashes with Swansea last season saw the Stamford Bridge outfit prevail 9-2 on aggregate.
Saturday's home fixture looked a sure-fire opening three points for the Blues.
But the signs were there ahead of the clash that it might not be such an easy fixture, with the strike department a particular concern given the over-reliance on injury-prone Diego Costa, per Bleacher Report's Sam Tighe:
Mourinho may yet make more further additions to the squad before the closing of the transfer window at the end of this month.
Everton centre-back John Stones is reportedly a major target, with the Blues set to return with a third bid of the summer, worth around £30 million, per Andy Hunter in the Guardian.
Augsburg left-back Baba Rahman is also apparently close to a move, per German outlet Bild (h/t Sport Witness):
Both would be decent additions to a defence in need of greater depth. However, it is clear that with no major signings on the horizon, the Blues are set to tackle the Premier League this season with much the same starting XI as last term.
While such a unit will no doubt still be in the mix in the title race, the challenge will be much greater, the likes of Manchester City, Arsenal and Manchester United having bought well over the summer.
Mourinho cannot expect the same dominance in the league that he enjoyed last season, and Swansea provided a nasty wake-up call to remind him of that.
