Chelsea Football Club have reportedly opened discussions with Didier drogba about bringing their former talisman back to Stamford Bridge, Daily Mail reports.
Jose Mourinho, who signed Drogba from Marseille during his first spell at Chelsea in 2004, wants to resign the 36-year-old Ivorian as a player coach - making him one of the strikers and giving him coaching responsibilities to develop his role at the club.
The Portuguese manager needs an extra forward to support newly signed Diego Costa and the struggling Fernando Torres - who is keen to stay at Stamford Bridge despite interest from Inter Milan.
Meanwhile, Samuel Eto'o departed Chelsea after running out of his one-year contract and Demba Ba could join Turkish side Besiktas; with Romelu Lukaku expected to remain on loan.
Drogba, who is also thought to have been targeted by Qatari clubs, won three Premier League titles, four FA Cups and the Champions League during his eight-year spell at Stamford Bridge.
A dream return of the iconic striker to the West London club would be one of the transfer deals many Chelsea fans would appreciate.
