Jose Mourinho considering move to bring Didier Drogba back

The 36-year-old, who is out of contract after 18 months in Turkey with Galatasaray, scored 179 Premier League goals during an eight-year spell at Stamford Bridge and could be offered a sensational return.

Blues boss Jose Mourinho knows the striker well from his first stint in west London and said in March Drogba would one day 'have to return' to Chelsea in some capacity.

And Mourinho is interested in handing the Ivorian a player-coach role, but will face stiff competition.

Drogba is generating interest from clubs in Qatar and has also been linked with both Juventus and Marseille.

The striker won three Premier League titles, four FA Cups and the Champions League during his time at Chelsea and would offer experience in a changing squad.

Mourinho has already sealed the services of Diego Costa, who scored 35 goals for Atletico Madrid last season, and Drogba would provide the necessary back-up after Samuel Eto'o ended his Chelsea stay.
