A free agent after his 18-month contract with Galatasaray ran out in June, Ivoirian hitman Didier Drogba is earnestly considering a return to Stamford Bridge, according to English media reports.

Chelsea boss José Mourinho wants to sign his former protégé as an alternative striking option to Diego Costa and Fernando Torres while giving him some coaching responsibilities.

The Portuguese believes his presence will be an inspiration to the team as they aim for a return to Premier League glory this season.

The 36-year-old had a highly prosperous spell at Chelsea between 2004 and 2012, winning three Premier League designations, four FA Cups, two League Cups and the UEFA Champions League with the Blues along the way.

Drogba has reportedly been offered a two-year contract by Serie A giants Juventus, but seems keen on ending his vocation in West London where he has earned hero status with the fans.
