Gattuso: Linked with Chelsea
Carlo Ancelotti has dismissed speculation linking Chelsea with a move for AC Milan midfielder Gennaro Gattuso.
The Blues manager may look to strengthen his squad in January as a number of key players will be leaving to play in the African Cup of Nations.
Gattuso has also grown frustrated at a lack of playing time at the San Siro and rumours have suggested he could leave in the New Year.
Ancelotti worked with the Italian during his time in charge of the Rossoneri and is still full of admiration for him as a player.
However, the Chelsea boss insists he has no plans to try and bring in Gattuso when the transfer window reopens.
"Rino is a Milan player," Ancelotti said in the Daily Mirror.
"I had a good relationship with him, but I don't think he'll be coming here."
