Real Madrid are set to bid for Chelsea striker Didier Drogba next month.

Despite the capture of Ajax star Klaas Jan Huntelaar, new Real coach Juande Ramos admits they still need to strengthen their attack next month.

His priority will be forwards with Chelsea's Drogba a leading candidate to fill the void left by Ruud van Nistelrooy's long-term injury, says the Daily Mail.

"In theory we have the best defence in Europe," said Ramos.

"There is enough quality in the defence to sort things out. We need to strengthen other areas and ensure we attack and defend as a team."
