Chelsea legend Didier Drogba wants Crystal Palace whizkid Wilfried Zaha to reject England and commit himself to Ivory Coast.
Zaha - 20 next month - was born in the Ivorian city of Abidjan, but moved to England as a child, says the Mirror.
The striker has so far chosen to represent his adopted country and was part of the Under-21 team that won a controversial match in Serbia earlier this month to clinch a place in the Euro finals next summer.
But his place among the Under-21s will not prevent him choosing to be part of the Ivory Coast senior side that will compete in the Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa in January.
Drogba - idolised in the Ivory Coast - is playing in China after leaving Chelsea last June.
