Jose Mourinho hails ex-Chelsea player Didier Drogba as one of world's best strikers

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has backed Galatasaray SK forward Didier Drogba as one of the best strikers in the world.

Mourinho believes the former Chelsea striker has the same ability now as he had when he was 26.

According to the BBC, Mourinho believes that Drogba, who is best known for his Chelsea career, will return to Stamford Bridge someday in the future.

The Galatasaray striker, who returned to London for the second leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie against Chelsea, had said that he may not celebrate if he scores against his former team-mates.

Drogba scored 157 goals in 342 appearances during an eight-year spell at Chelsea, the report added.
