Chelsea legend wants to return to Stamford Bridge from America

Didier Drogba says he would like to return to Chelsea to train

DIDIER DROGBA is keen to return to Chelsea from MLS - but only to train.

 

The Blues legend moved to Montreal Impact in the summer, where his season has now finished.

He helped them to the semi-finals of the play-offs, with 12 goals in 14 appearances, but they were eventually knocked out by Columbus Crew.

 

And the 37-year-old is now keen to return to Stamford Bridge if his club allows him to do so.

"To train? Why not? But it's something I would need to discuss with [Montreal], because I belong to them," he told French news agency AFP.

"I signed a one-and-a-half year contract, I always like to respect what I have signed."

 

Drogba scored 164 goals in 381 appearances in all competitions for the Blues

Given his former club's struggles this season, there had been suggestions he might come back to play for Jose Mourinho's side.

However, they appear to be wide of the mark as he was quick to rule that idea out.

"Playing? I'm not too hot on that idea," he added.

"I need to rest and make sure that I'm ready for the new season."
