Hailing Chelsea's entry into the last 16 of the Champions League, thanks to a double strike by Drogba, Ancelotti said: "I don't know for sure if Didier is the best striker in the world, but I know for certain that I want to keep him. I would not change him for any other striker."

The Ivory Coast star, suspended for a live TV rant after last season's semi-final defeat by Barcelona, has now scored 12 goals already this season, reports The Sun.

Drogba, 31, said: "I think I am playing the best football of my career."
