Chelsea great Didier Drogba has urged Mohamed Salah to leave Liverpool and return to Stamford Bridge.

Drogba and Liverpool star Salah were teammates at Chelsea in 2014.

And Ivorian great Drogba admits he'd like to see the Egyptian return to his former club amid speculation over his future at Anfield.

“If I am selfish, I will tell Salah to leave Liverpool and return to Chelsea," Drogba joked when speaking on Al-Axis TV.

“My opinion is that Salah will remain the best, no matter if he continues at Liverpool or if he moves.

“Any other team would perform better [with him] because he understands what he is doing, is good at scoring and creating goals, and only needs the confidence of the coach.

“I do not know what his decision would be. This is his decision alone and his future, but wherever he goes, I will be one of his fans."
