Rumors linking Roma striker Mattia Destro with a Premier League move to Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are not true according to the 23-year-old’s agent.

The Italian striker has most recently been linked in a swap deal with Chelsea who are said to be interested in bringing Destro to Stamford Bridge in exchange for flop striker Fernando Torres.

However according to a report from the Press Association, Destro’s agent Renzo Contratto has dismissed the speculation suggesting a transfer is in the works that would see his client move to England this summer.

Despite being one of the most highly sought after strikers in Italy Contratto said Destro wishes to remain in Rome, although the Italian agent believes the 23-year-old would welcome interest from Chelsea.

Destro who moved to Roma in the summer of 2012 netted 13 league goals last season finishing as the Giallorossi top goal scorer.
