Drogba Continues At Chelsea

Didier Drogba is an iconic figure at Stamford Bridge as his goals helped Chelsea on winning just about every major trophy out there. His collection of trophies include: Premier League, FA Cup, Football League Cup, Champions League and FA Community Shield. All of those were the awards that the Ivorian striker managed to capture during his time playing for Chelsea.

Even at his 36 years of age, he still continues playing for Chelsea with roaring applauds and ovations being given to the experienced forward who remains being admired by supporters of the Premier League club and his manager, Jose Mourinho.

Not many players in recent times have been able to accomplish and have an impact in the same level that Didier Drogba had during his golden years but Diego Costa is turning heads around as the former Athletic Madrid player is turning out to be the savior for Chelsea.

Chelsea was consistently struggling trying to find a reliable goal-scoring option but their search seems to have ended with Diego Costa having already scored 4 goals in 3 matches and the Brazilian born attacker is at the spotlight of just about every match.

Even though the season has only just started and Diego Costa has not made a large number of performances for Chelsea, the €32 million that the English club had to pay in order to sign him is already turning out to be a bargain.

Even Didier Drogba himself has praised Diego Costa during a press conference as the Ivorian forward said that Costa kick started his career in Stamford Bridge better than he did.

Drogba told reporters: “Diego Costa has started very well. He looks special. He’s scoring goals and helping the team. He’s settled right in and he’s started much better than I did!”

During the first season of Didier Drogba in Stamford Bridge he managed on scoring 10 league goals but Diego Costa has already scored 4 goals in just 3 matches for Chelsea.

Torres And Lukaku Compete For Spot Alongside Costa

With Diego Costa’s signing having already been officially announced and confirmed to the public it does not look like Chelsea would have to look around for another player that can strengthen the attacking department of the squad.

Diego Costa was expected to be partnered up with Fernando Torres as the future of Romelu Lukaku still remains uncertain. The Belgian player was performing in the past season with Everton on a loan deal but now that the contract is over he would be making his return to Stanford Bridge but the 21 year old forward once said that if he does indeed go back to Chelsea it would only be as a starting player.

So far, Lukaku has only made 10 league appearances for Chelsea and he wants to have a guaranteed spot in the starting lineup of Jose Mourinho much like his time playing with Everton where he appeared on 31 matches.

Inter Milan has launched offers towards Fernando Torres but the Spanish forward wants to remain at Stanford Bridge and prove why Chelsea was willing to pay €50 million in order to sign him which means that there will be a competition between Torres and Lukaku to find out which player will be playing alongside Diego Costa who has his place assured.

But things might get even more competitive with the recent rumors that are linking Chelsea with Didier Drogba as the Ivorian attacker is being taken into consideration by Jose Mourinho as well as the staff members of the club.

Some time ago Ryan Giggs had a role in Manchester United to play as a player-coach and this is what Didier Drogba is believed to perform with Chelsea if he indeed to come back to Stanford Bridge. The place that saw him winning a number of glorious titles including: 3 Premier League trophies, 4 FA Cups and the Champions League but with his possible return to the Premier League club, there is a possibility of the Ivorian man being able to add more trophies to his name.
