Drogba praises Chelsea impact of goal ace Costa

Chelsea veteran Didier Drogba has highlighted the importance of the club's expensive summer signing Diego costa.

The Brazil-born Spanish striker has made an immediate impact at Stamford Bridge since joining from Atletico Madrid for £32million in the recent transfer window, scoring seven goals in four outings, and his contribution has certainly been noted by fellow attacker Drogba.

"He is the striker we needed this season," said the Ivory Coast great.

"When I look at him I can see the desire to win every challenge, and to score goals. He is hungry for goals and that's the best thing for a team like us.

"For him to start this season in England, coming from Spain which is a different league and to recreate the same thing he was doing in Spain is fantastic."
