Marseille coach Deschamps admits trying to buy Chelsea ace Drogba

Olympique Marseille coach Didier Deschamps admits they've tried to buy Chelsea striker Didier Drogba.

A 1-0 win for the French champions over Chelsea in the Champions League last week marked an emotional return to the club Drogba reluctantly left for Stamford Bridge back in 2004.

Asked about a reports Marseille tried to re-sign the 32-year-old in the summer, Deschamps admitted to French TV: "Yes. It's complicated.

"Maybe one day he will return, but with each year that goes by, it is going to get more and more complicated."
