Chelsea have cooled talk of a move for AS Monaco striker Park Chu-Young.

It was claimed the Monaco striker's representatives had met with Blues boss Carlo Ancelotti, sporting director Frank Arnesen and chief executive Ron Gourlay to discuss an £8million move.

Yet a Chelsea source insisted to The Sun: "We did receive some correspondence with regard to Park but that is as far it went.

"It is wrong to think we want to sign him or suggest there have been any meetings with his agents. He is not about to become a Chelsea player."
