Chelsea striker Didier Drogba has sung the praises of Newcastle's star-in-the-making Andy Carroll.
The 21-year old has emerged as a real talent this season with nine goals in the top flight and his performances have not been lost on the Ivory Coast international who saw him firsthand last week.
"I've been very impressed with him. People say I'm good in the air but he's not bad either!" Drogba told Chelsea's official magazine.
"What he does, and what I like to do, is attack the ball. You have to do this to give it the direction you want, whether you are flicking it on to one of your team-mates or going for goal yourself."
