Chelsea boss Luiz Felipe Scolari admits he cannot rule out the possibility that Didier Drogba has met with Inter Milan officials.

Reports have suggested that former Blues boss Jose Mourinho, now in charge at Inter, is keen to take the Ivorian hit-man to Italy.

The Portuguese coach has been quick to dispel those suggestions, but the speculation refuses to go away.

Allegations have surfaced claiming Drogba recently held talks with Inter's sporting director Marco Branca, as well as Mourinho's agent Jorge Mendes.

Scolari will not have welcomed the unsettling news ahead of crunch contests with Bordeaux, in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday, and Arsenal, in the Premier League on Sunday, and was clearly ruffled when pressed on the matter.

"I do not sleep with him (Drogba)," said Scolari.

"Where he was last night? I don't know. I am not a policeman for my players.

"Ask Peter Kenyon (chief executive), ask Roman Abramovich, I don't know, I am only the coach."
