Transfer news: Chelsea-linked Luis Muriel rules out leaving Sampdoria in January

Sampdoria star Luis Muriel had told Chelsea and Napoli to forget about signing him in January.

The Colombian has impressed this season and is a wanted man ahead of next month's transfer window.

Chelsea and Napoli are both chasing the 25-year-old, but they have now been dealt a blow after he revealed he is staying at Sampdoria until at least the end of the season.

"In January I'll stay here, I won't move," Muriel told Il Secolo XIX.

"I've never felt as good as I do this season, I want to grow again and beat my record for goals in a season.
