Oscar delighted to have 'fantastic' Drogba as Chelsea teammate

Chelsea midfielder Oscar admits it is a daily thrill to have Didier Drogba as his teammate.

The Ivory Coast veteran returned to Stamford Bridge in the summer after two years away from the west London club and his presence has certainly been noticed by Brazil international Oscar who spoke highly of the striker.

"Ah Didier - he is fantastic," said Oscar.

"Fantastic player, fantastic person, and I am so happy he is a part of the team. He speaks before the game for the attacking players. He wants to score every game.

"He speaks not just with me, but with the attacking players. He scored so many goals for Chelsea. He pushed so much the young players."

Since returning to Chelsea, Drogba has scored five goals in 17 appearances including two in the Champions League, two in the Premier League and one in the Capital One Cup.
