Shevchenko tired of Chelsea rumours

AC Milan striker Andrei Shevchenko admits he's fed up with rumours linking him with Chelsea.

"I am annoyed by the Chelsea rumours," he told L'Equipe. "I have three years remaining on my contract.
"Today, I only think about Milan and ending the season in the best way.
"And then? I don't want to talk about it. It is nonsense now.
"I repeat it: I am fine at Milan.
"I've already said I want to end my career here, even if you can't plan for it in football.
"Would I like to become a 'Milanist' for my whole life, like Franco Baresi or Paolo Maldini? Yes.
"But I would never give up a national cap for money. Even if I play for a club I love, I am and will remain a Ukrainian."
