Jose rejects Lennon link

Jose Mourinho has rejected talk linking Chelsea with a move for Aaron Lennon.

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has rejected talk linking the club with a move for Tottenham's Aaron Lennon.

Widespread reports over the weekend suggested Chelsea were lining up a mega-money bid for the England international.

Lennon has established himself as one of the brightest prospects in England in the last 18 months.

The former Leeds youngster showed his class in scoring Tottenham's winner against Chelsea on Sunday.

Despite his impressive showing against Chelsea Mourinho insists he has no plans to try and sign the jet-heeled winger.

"No, completely not interested," said Mourinho when asked of the Lennon speculation.

"The boy is good, but we have no interest in buying or changing anything.

"Our interest is to keep Shaun Wright-Phillips - who was supposedly involved in any deal. No way. It's not true."
