Jose Mourinho fuels rumours that Didier Drogba is on his way back to Chelsea.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has confirmed that he is considering re-signing Didier Drogba, who is available on a free transfer.

The Blues boss believes that the 36-year-old is still one of the best strikers in Europe, and promised to make a decision on his Stamford Bridge return soon.

"We think about it," the Daily Mail quotes Mourinho as saying. "We want to win matches and win titles and Didier is one of the best strikers in Europe.

"He is still very adapted to the needs of the Premier League and we are thinking about it in a non-emotional way. If you bring him back it is not because he is Didier or scored the most important goal in the history of Chelsea, or because I read I need an assistant, no.

"If I bring him back, and the decision has to be made soon, it is because as a player he has qualities to make the team stronger. The team is not about the eleven. It is about the different options and as an option I would not say no about the possibility."

Drogba, who left Chelsea in 2012 after scoring the winning spot kick in a Champions League final penalty shootout against Bayern Munich, recently parted company with Turkish club Galatasaray.
