Marseille president Dassier: Chelsea striker Drogba our dream signing

Olympique Marseille president Jean-Claude Dassier admits Chelsea striker Didier Drogba remains a dream transfer target.

Dassier concedes Drogba financially is out of range, but insists they will continue to explore the prospect of bringing the Ivorian back to his former club.

"We must let the entourages of the players say what they have to say," declared Dassier. "They are selling their client. This is normal. Everyone has dreamed for years about the return of Didier Drogba. He will perhaps one day.

"But I doubt that this would happen this season. He is in a prestigious team. He has a salary that is not within our reach this season. We will see ... We will do what it takes for Marseille to still be a bit better this season than in recent seasons."
