Manchester City boss Mark Hughes is not denying an interest in Chelsea striker Didier Drogba. Reports indicate that City would swap unsettled Brazilian star Robinho for the Ivory Coast international.
Chelsea actually narrowly missed out on Robinho's signature from Real Madrid, so could make a fresh move for the striker.
However, Hughes has categorically stated Robinho will not be leaving the club anytime soon.
"That's not up for debate," he told Sky Sports News on Robinho's future.
"There's always speculation about our players and players that we don't have. So we're quite used to that at the moment.
"Basically there are stories about every player and every top club in the world at the moment and we're allegedly linked with everybody," he commented on being linked with Drogba.
"Until we actually make bids for players then I really can't discuss other players.
"It's a situation we're trying to keep a lid on but there's so much speculation I shouldn't have to add to it."
