Mourinho dismisses striker exit talk
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has dismissed speculation linking star striker Fernando Torres with an exit from Stamford Bridge this summer.
The Spain international has been linked with a summer switch away from the Blues in the current transfer window, following the arrival of Didier Drogba and Diego Costa to the club.
However, this rumour has been squashed by manager Jose Mourinho, who has insisted that the former Liverpool star remains in his first-team plans for the future.
"Will Torres leave? No. I want three strikers in the team and I can't do the season without three." He said. "He has to score more goals than the first [striker to get into the team]."
Torres joined Chelsea from Liverpool for club-record fee of £50m in January 2011.
