Jose: I'm only being linked with Jenas after I put him in my fantasy team
Jose Mourinho has dismissed reports linking him to Jermaine Jenas
Inter Milan boss Jose Mourinho has dismissed reports that he wants to bring Tottenham midfielder Jermaine Jenas to Italy, making the amazing claim that the story only emerged because he included the player in his fantasy football team last summer.
The England international has been linked with an unlikely move to the Serie A giants in a part exchange deal with Brazilian striker Adriano, but Sours boss Harry Redknapp has denied suggestions that Jenas could leave the London club.
Certain media outlets have reported that Mourinho has made public his interest in the former Newcastle and Nottingham Forest midfielder but in his first tangible comment on Jenas he has seemingly ruled out a January move.
The former Chelsea boss said: 'Last July the Daily Telegraph started their fantasy football league and paid me to take part.
'In my squad I put Jenas and others. Six months later the market reopens and it comes out I like these players.
Is that the way to Milan? Tottenham midfielder Jermaine Jenas
'I like them, otherwise I wouldn't have put them in my squad, but that's a transfer market without rules.
'It seems to me that someone wants a player from Inter and seeing that they know I like another player, they've brought out this story.'
