Current Serie A leaders Internazionale insist they are not interested in signing Chelsea striker Didier Drogba in the January transfer window.

The 30-year-old has been linked with a move to the San Siro, where he would be reunited with former Blues boss Jose Mourinho, for several weeks, but Inter's sporting director, Marco Branca, says the club are not interested in buying the Ivory Coast international.

The striker allegedly met Branca in a London restaurant earlier this month, but the Italian told Inter's official website: "There's no Drogba dream.

"Inter already have numerous strikers that cover every role.

"Drogba has been at Chelsea for many years and is doing well there. We have our strikers that are also doing well here.

"It is just media speculation."

Drogba, who has scored 82 goals in 186 appearances for Chelsea since arriving at Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2004, has started only one league game for Luiz Felipe Scolari's side this season due to injury and disciplinary issues.
