Chelsea head coach Carlo Ancelotti says that his club are highly unlikely to make any further signings this summer.

The Blues have added goalkeeper Ross Turnbull, midfielder Yuri Zhirkov and forward Daniel Sturridge to their ranks and continue to be linked with a move for AC Milan playmaker Andrea Pirlo.

Ancelotti told reporters: "Now we stay with the players I've got. I don't want to take other players because the squad is very competitive.

"We don't need other players and I don't expect to make any more signings before the window shuts."

Meanwhile, Ancelotti has dismissed suggestions that the Blues came close to agreeing to sell defender Ricardo Carvalho and midfielder Deco to Italian champions Internazionale.

He added: "We never talked about selling Carvalho or Deco. They are important players for Chelsea.

"Carvalho is a very intelligent defender and Deco has a great quality. This team needs the quality of Deco. They will stay at Chelsea for this season.

"We don't have the idea to sell the players. If one player is not happy to stay with us, he has to say it to us. But at the moment nobody has asked to go."
