Didier Drogba has denied that he is in talks with Aston Villa, after speculation on social media linked the former Chelsea forward to the Championship club.

New Aston Villa chairman Tony Xia said earlier that he wanted to bring in a top-class striker, and this somehow led to rumours linking Drogba with the Birmingham club.

However, to many English football fans' dismay. Drogba dismissed the rumour.

He tweeted: "Just come out of training at @impactmontreal & a million messages & trending on Twitter saying I was in Birmingham today."
