BLACKBURN Rovers today dismissed speculation linking Craig Bellamy with a summer move to Chelsea.

A story in one of the Sunday tabloids claimed Blues boss Jose Mourinho was lining up a shock move for the Welsh international.

But no contact has been made with the club and Rovers insist they will do everything in their power to hang on to their 15-goal top scorer.

Chairman John Williams said: "We don't want to sell our best players and Craig is clearly one of them."

Manager Mark Hughes added: "I don't even want to think about the prospect of another club coming knocking on the door for Craig at the end of the season.

"It would have to be a lot of money to get him, but at the moment it's definitely a case of hands off."
