Joaquin's father revives Chelsea link

Joaquin´s father believes the time has come for the Spanish winger to leave Real Betis.

Joaquin is currently with the Spanish national team preparing for their critical World Cup qualifier against San Marino, but his father Aurelio feels he has gone as far as he can with Betis and should head for English champions Chelsea.

"He should leave Betis next year, for his own good and the good of the club, even though people should realise he is happy there. The truth is that everything was done and I don´t think Mourinho will forget about him easily," he said on Punto Radio.

Chelsea already have numerous wingers in their huge squad. Should the add Joaquin to that list we could well see people like Joe Cole leaving in search of first team football.
