Soccer:Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas insists he's not looking to offload €55 million striker Fernando Torres after reports claimed the Stamford Bridge club are prepared to listen to offers in the region of €22 million for a striker who they only signed from Liverpool in January 2011.

Villas-Boas, who took over at Chelsea this summer, has remained adamant the Spain international is not for sale at any price.

Torres has scored just five goals at club level since his unsavoury Liverpool exit almost 12 months ago and has recently fallen behind Didier Drogba in Villas-Boas' plans.

The ex-Atletico Madrid star has started only 11 matches this season and was an unused substitute in Monday's Premier League victory over Manchester City.

But Villas-Boas said at a press conference on Thursday ahead of Saturday's trip to Wigan: "Fernando Torres is not for sale at any price, now or in the summer."

Speculation has also suggested Frank Lampard, 33, will be sold either in January or at the end of season and the England international has been linked with LA Galaxy.

Villas-Boas is thought to want to reduce the age of his squad and has over the past month been preferring the central midfield partnership of summer signings Raul Meireles and Oriol Romeu.

But Frank Lampard came off the bench to score the winning penalty in the victory over City and his manager, who is just eight months older, has offered an endorsement of Chelsea's 2001 signing from West Ham.

"Frank Lampard is a player of massive magnitude to this club," said Villas-Boas.
