Jose Mourinho: 'Fernando Torres is staying'

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho dismisses reports that claim Fernando Torres will leave Stamford Bridge this summer.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has dismissed suggestions that Fernando Torres will be sold this summer.

The former Liverpool striker has been linked with moves to Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan following the arrivals of Didier Drogba and Diego Costa, but Mourinho has claimed that the Spaniard will be staying at Stamford Bridge.

He told Sky Sports News: "Three strikers is fundamental [for the squad] and we have three strikers in Didier, Diego, and Fernando, so he won't be leaving, no.

"We have a good squad, the perfect squad would be with 18 players, not 17, but rules are rules and we're working hard not to have these kind of problems in future and to have more English players in the squad."

Chelsea beat Vitesse 3-1 on on Wednesday evening.
