AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti has whiskered off all rumours suggesting that the Italian giants have struck a deal with Chelsea over star striker Didier Drogba.

It was reported in the British tabloid The Daily Mirror on Friday that the Ivory Coast international has signed a three-year deal with Milan but Ancellotti now denies that any such concrete deal has been laid to paper yet.

He said:

"I categorically deny that the club has bought Drogba.

"At the moment there is no deal being organised for that player.

"Next year I would like to have four or five strikers at my disposal but I don't know which ones just yet."

There have been no comments from Didier Drogba yet but rest assured that he shall say something similar.
