Didier Drogba has re-signed with Chelsea on a one-year deal.

The 36-year-old Drogba was available on a free transfer from Galatasaray.

"If I bring him back, and the decision has to be made soon, it is because as a player he has the qualities to make the team stronger,” José Mourinho said before the move. “Because we know his heart is pushing him to where he feels he belongs, we are thinking about the possibility [of a deal]. We feel that Didier belongs to us.

“We want to win matches and win titles and Didier is one of the best strikers in Europe,” said Mourinho. “He is still very adapted to the needs of the Premier League and we are thinking about it in a non-emotional way.”
