Chelsea will allow Scott Parker to leave if that is his wish admitted boss Jose Mourinho. Everton are knocking at Chelsea’s door to give Parker a new life line and are willing to match Chelsea’s six million pound asking price.

Mourinho stated:

"The only thing I can say is the conversation I had with him.”

"Like always he's a top boy and I always had a very open relationship with him.

"The last one was about the future and the conversation was about the qualities he has, no doubts, the ambition he has because he's not one of the players who enjoys not to be a first choice, and the third point of the conversation was something that we both agree, that we have in Makelele an unbeatable player.

"So it's a situation that you have to analyse and we have to communicate and we have to decide.

"A young player like him with ambition that he has, it's normal that he wants to play regular. He wants to be in the national team. He can only be in the national team if he plays regular.

"He is ready to wait or he's not ready to wait. If he's ready to wait it's fantastic for Chelsea because he's a fantastic boy and a very good player.

"If he's not ready to wait and he just wants to play and play and play and play we have to think about it. We have to think about a loan, we have to think about selling but he's a very, very good player.

"I want to keep him but I understand players, we understand players."
