Chelsea have denied making a bid for Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o despite claims from the Cameroon international he has received offers from the Blues, Tottenham and Inter Milan.

The 27-year-old, who is currently in Scotland with Barcelona, told Corriere dello Sport he has received a 'few important offers. Which ones? Chelsea, Tottenham and Inter'.

Chelsea have rejected Eto'o claim, saying they have no interest in the player.

A club spokesman said: "We deny making a bid or any offer for Eto'o."

Eto'o's agent, Jose Maria Mesalles, also refused to rule out the possibility of the former Real Mallorca striker remaining at the Nou Camp despite speculation over his future.
