Jordan Houghton came through the Chelsea academy and featured in and around the first team under the Portuguese coach alongside several Blues stars
In 2014, Jordan Houghton was part of a Chelsea team that had just won the first of the club's five FA Youth Cups in a row. And he was knocking on the door trying to get his chance in the first team under Jose Mourinho.
Cesc Fabregas arrived from Barcelona to add to Mourinho's midfield options, which already included Nemanja Matic, Ramires and John Obi Mikel. Like many young hopefuls coming through the Chelsea system however, Houghton ended up on loan before ultimately leaving for good.
