Jose Mourinho: Chelsea "not interested" in Antoine Griezmann

Jose Mourinho has dismissed speculation that has linked Chelsea with a move for Atletico Madrid frontman Antoine Griezmann this summer.

The Blues raided Atletico for Diego Costa and Filipe Luis, as well as recalling on-loan goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, 12 months ago.

However, despite reports to the contrary, Mourinho has insisted that he has no intention of making Griezmann a fourth arrival from the Vicente Calderon.

"Griezmann is a great striker but is not within our objectives to strengthen the squad for next season. We are not interested," the London Evening Standard quotes the Chelsea boss as saying.

Griezmann scored 25 goals in all competitions for Los Rojiblancos last season.
