ONE MORE TIME! Chelsea boss Mourinho wants Drogba to play on

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has hinted he wants Didier Drogba to play on next season.

The 36-year-old has scored five goals in his last 10 appearances and has been an inspirational leader in the dressing room.

Mourinho said: "My personal story is that he's still a very good player and if he wants my advice in the future, he should stop when he wants, when he feels - not be waiting for me or the club to decide.

"We love him, we want him, he's a great player. He should stop when he wants. After that I know Mr (Roman) Abramovich is very happy to keep him in the club in every area where we feel and he feels, is useful and happy.

"But that's after he makes the decision of stopping, which I don't think is tomorrow."
