Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is adamant that wantaway striker Didier Drogba will not be allowed to leave Stamford Bridge this summer and is also unsure whether he will be able to tempt AC Milan striker Andriy Shevchenko to the club.

Drogba had hinted that he had grown tired of life in the Premiership but Mourinho says the Ivory Coast international is going nowhere.

"He has two years left on his deal and we consider him to be not negotiable," said the Blues boss.

"He has no chance of leaving. He has to play for Chelsea. If he plays with happiness, fantastic, because we get the best of him. If not, he doesn't play. It's his problem.

"As for Shevchenko, we would like to bring him, but he's a Milan player and he has a long-term contract with them.

"Milan have the power, like we have the power with Drogba, and my feeling is that they don't want to sell and they will keep him.

"I like the player and I would like to have him - but a lot of clubs want Drogba and they can't have him."

Drobga has earlier told The Sun: "I want to move on and avoid all the pressure and scandals. Those things hurt my feelings.

"Anywhere I go, the Champions League will be there waiting for me."
