Jose Mourinho does not want to be drawn on Chelsea's interest in Benfica starlet Talisca, but has appeared to rule out a January move for the Brazilian.
Talisca only joined Benfica this summer, but has quickly blazed a trail in the Portuguese Primeira Liga and earned links with bigger clubs.
Chelsea's rivals Arsenal are another side to have been strongly linked with the Benfica star.
Today, at a press conference, Mourinho was asked whether Talisca could arrive at Chelsea in the upcoming January transfer window.
His reply was short and sweet, with the Portuguese simply saying: "No."

It remains to be seen whether Mourinho stays true to his word, especially if Arsenal firm up their interest in Talisca in January.
Talisca has so far struck eight times in ten Primeira Liga games for Benfica, along with finding the back of the net in the Champions League.
