Jose Mourinho has poured cold water on rumours linking Chelsea with Juventus star Paul Pogba, bizarrely comparing the 22-year-old to the 'Eiffel Tower'.

The Daily Telegraph is reporting that Mourinho is frustrated with Chelsea's lack of activity during the summer transfer window.

The Special One admitted to being a fan of Pogba's, but indicated buying the French international may not be a realistic proposition for Chelsea at this point in time.

"Pogba is one of the top players in the world. Pogba goes to any team and improves that team automatically," Mourinho said.

"I think everybody has an interest in Pogba. But there are things you can do and things you cannot do.

"I love the Eiffel Tower but I can't have the Eiffel Tower in my garden. I can't even have the Eiffel Tower of Las Vegas."
