Davids spent five months on loan at Barcelona last season
|
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has denied reports that he is set to sign Holland midfielder Edgar Davids.
Mourinho was reported to have won the race for the 31-year-old, who has also been linked with Tottenham and Liverpool since leaving Juventus.
But Mourinho said: "I wouldn't like him. He is a very good player, but in England you cannot play in midfield with two players who are 1.70m.
"With Claude Makelele, it would not be a good combination."
Davids spent the second half of last season on loan at Barcelona from Juventus but turned down an offer from the Catalan club.
Spurs had been close to signing him during the January transfer window.
