Newcastle boss Pardew would love to sign Chelsea star Drogba

Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew admits he'd love to sign Chelsea striker Didier Drogba.

During yesterday's draw, the Magpies boss notably shook hands with Drogba as the striker prepared to come off the bench.

Pardew said: "I'm a big fan of Didier's. I don't think I'll entice him to the north-east. I think it's a bit cold for Didier at this stage of his career. Foreign players come to these shores and some set the example for others to follow.

"He's done that at Chelsea, and he'll probably continue to do that for one or two years still."
