Chelsea tell Fernando Torres he is going nowhere despite complaints

Didier Drogba has confirmed he will leave Chelsea this summer but Fernando Torres will not be following his fellow striker out of the club, the Guardian reported.

Drogba's departure will have implications for Torres. The Spaniard, who has scored 12 goals in 67 appearances for the club, is not agitating for a move despite suggestions of interest from Málaga and will not be sanctioned for his comments. Ron Gourlay, Chelsea's chief executive, in an interview with Sky Sports News, put the outburst down to emotion.

"Everybody wants to play and I would be very surprised if Fernando [hadn't]," said Gourlay. "I'm sure he wanted to play more games, and more time on the field as every professional player does. But it's the emotion of the time as well, the biggest day in our history. You've got to take these things into account."
