Mark Hughes is keen to raid Chelsea for Didier Drogba should he become QPR manager.

The Daily Mail says Hughes discussed transfer targets during talks with QPR yesterday and Blackburn Rovers defender Christopher Samba was top of the agenda.

He will also press ahead with the club's plan to sign Manchester City misfit Wayne Bridge - a player he bought as City boss from Chelsea. Another defender, Chelsea's Alex, is set to join Rangers in a £3m move.

Fulham striker Andy Johnson is also being considered by the ex-Craven Cottage boss. QPR's £1.5m bid was rejected last week, but Johnson is determined to move.

Chelsea's superstar striker Didier Drogba has also been mentioned. The 33-year-old has only six months left on his Chelsea contract and Fernandes has indicated that he is willing to stretch the budget by perhaps another £5m for a marquee name.
