Drogba texts Chelsea players about potential return

Didier Drogba is in touch with former Chelsea teammates about the prospect of his return.

The Daily Mail says Drogba is poised to take a step closer to realising his dream of a return to Chelsea this week.

Talks have been ongoing over a one year player-coach contract which will see the 36-year-old Stamford Bridge idol reunited with mentor Jose Mourinho.

Drogba is understood to have already texted some of his former Chelsea teammates to hint at his return.

Interestingly, a player-coach contract would also fall more comfortably into Financial Fair Play guidelines as part of his wages would be absorbed into the coaches budget.
