Striker Didier Drogba has re-signed for Chelsea on a
one-year deal. The Ivorian, 36, won 10 trophies at Chelsea from 2004 to 2012
and was a free agent after leaving Galatasaray. Manager Jose Mourinho had
earlier said the forward "belongs" at Stamford Bridge - but that any
deal would be made "in a non-emotional way".
Drogba told Chelsea's official site: "It was an easy decision - I couldn't turn down the opportunity to work with Jose again." He said: "Everyone knows the special relationship I have with this club and it has always felt like home to me. "My desire to win is still the same and I look forward to the opportunity to help this team. I am excited for this next chapter of my career."
Mourinho said: "He's coming because he's one of the best strikers in Europe. "I know his personality very well and I know if he comes back he's not protected by history or what he's done for this club previously. He is coming with the mentality to make more history."
