suggested Arsene Wenger needs to
consult a calculator when comparing
Arsenal and the Blues.
The Frenchman previously said it was
"impossible" for the Gunners to win the
Premier League over the last few years ,
something Mourinho disputes.
The Portuguese guided Chelsea to the title
in 2014-15 and in the lead up to the new
campaign says Wenger's assessment
doesn't ring true.
"If you add up the amounts the clubs have
spent in the last three or four years I think
maybe you will find a surprise," he told
reporters.
"Get a calculator. That is one of the
easiest things to do. It leaves no space for
speculation. If you want to be honest,
objective and pragmatic it is the easiest
job for a manager or a journalist to do.
"They have bought a fantastic goalkeeper
and that is a position which is very
important in a team.
"If you put Ozil plus Sanchez, plus
Chambers, plus Debuchy you will maybe
find a surprise."
Chelsea finished 12 points ahead of the
Gunners, also winning the League Cup,
while Wenger's men picked up their
second FA Cup in as many seasons.
And although Mourinho's men go into the
new season as title favourites, he believes
Arsenal and three others will push his
side all the way.
He added: "It's a fantastic squad with
good players, fantastic goalkeeper. They
are more than ready to be title
contenders.
"Everyone of us should expect to win the
title. We have five teams who will play for
the title, only one will win and one of us
will be playing Europa League in two
years.
"That is the reality, five teams for four
Champions League positions, only one will
be champion and one in Europa League."
