Shanghai Shenhua player-coach Nicolas Anelka admits he wants to bring former Chelsea teammate Didier Drogba to China.

Anelka also wants to recruit former Paris St Germain team-mate Selim Benachour, currently with Maritimo.

"I hope Selim Benachour and Didier Drogba will quickly join us," Anelka told Le Journal du Dimanche.

"I hope they come. It is up to the club to see if we have the right means."
