AS Roma manager Jose Mourinho is reportedly planning to raid his former side Chelsea for two players ahead of the January transfer window.
Roma have endured a shaky start to the Serie A season, where they find themselves in seventh position, three points adrift of the top four.
Mourinho has already poached Tammy Abraham and Romelu Lukaku (loan) in the last couple seaons, but he is now targeting two more to bolster his squad.

According to Calciomercato, Trevoh Chalobah and Malang Sarr have jumped on Mourinho's radar with the transfer window opening in a couple month's time.
Both Chalobah and Sarr have not made a single appearance under Mauricio Pochettino this season and not even been included in a match day squad.
Chalobah was heavily linked with a move to Bayern Munich in the last transfer window, but Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund are also reportedly monitoring the situation.
Even if Chalobah returns from injury, he faces an uphill battle to get into the side, with Pochettino preferring Axel Disasi, Thiago Silva and Levi Colwill.
While Chalobah has been injured in recent weeks, Sarr has been left out of the Blues' Premier League squad and does not have a squad number this campaign.
The report adds Mourinho is now keen on giving both players the chance at regular minutes once the January transfer window opens.
