Antoine Griezmann's name has emerged as a possible transfer target for a host of clubs throughout Europe, as the 24-year-old Frenchman is a hot commodity following a season in which he led Atletico Madrid with 22 goals in La Liga.
Chelsea, though, is not one of the teams looking to procure his services, according to manager Jose Mourinho.
"Griezmann is a great striker but is not within our objectives to strengthen the squad for next season. We are not interested," Mourinho said, reports James Olley of the Evening Standard.
Posturing? Honesty? With Mourinho, it's often the former, though with Diego Costa and Eden Hazard already at Stamford Bridge, his claim does seem to make sense.
On to the next transfer rumour, friends.
