Chelsea legend Didier Drogba is ready to return to football in the United Soccer League.

The Sun says he is set to make a shock return to football – and reunite with former team-mate Shaun Wright-Phillips.

Reports in the US claim that the Chelsea legend will sign with the Phoenix Rising of the United Soccer League.

The 39-year-old Drogba has not played since his contract expired with Major League soccer side Montreal Impact in December.

Wright-Phillips, 35, who played three seasons in west London winning a Premier League title, FA Cup and League Cup, joined the Phoenix club in February.
