Chelsea news: Andre Schurrle blames end of Blues 'dream' on Jose Mourinho

Andre Schurrle believes Jose Mourinho's demanding personality was one of the major reasons behind his departure from Chelsea.

The Germany international moved to Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2013 but spent just 18 months at the club before being sold to Wolfsburg for £22million.

Signed by Mourinho, Schurrle appeared 30 times in the Premier League during his first season before falling out of favour during the 2014-15 campaign.
