CSKA Moscow goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev dismisses rumours linking him with a move to Chelsea as a replacement for Petr Cech.

Russian goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev has claimed that rumours linking him with a move to Chelsea are false.

The CSKA Moscow captain has recently been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge as a possible long-term replacement for current Chelsea number one Petr Cech.

Blues manager Andre Villas-Boas is reportedly keen to recruit younger players in the summer and question have been raised over 29-year-old Cech's form this season.

The 25-year-old told Russian newspaper Sport Express: "What has been published is not true. I recently renewed my contract with CSKA to stay here. I feel good at this club and I'm not negotiating with any others."

Chelsea are currently fifth in the Premier League.
