Should Chelsea Football Club Keep Didier Drogba? We Want Your Response Readers

A debate is ongoing on whether Chelsea Football Club, the new champions of England Premier League should be given a new contract or not.

The veteran Ivorian came back to Stamford Bridge in the summer and has played a small role as Jose Mourinho’s men won the title but the Chelsea captain would love him to stay on.

Chelsea captain John Terry has urged the club’s board to hand striker Didier Drogba fresh terms following their Premier League triumph.

The Ivorian has had to be content with a bit-part role since his return to Stamford Bridge in the last year, having started only seven of the 27 Premier League games he featured in, thanks largely to the form of Diego Costa during his first campaign in England.

However, long-serving skipper Terry – who himself signed a new deal in March – is hopeful that Chelsea can keep hold of Drogba, with the 37-year-old’s current contract set to expire at the end of the season.

“He’s been great because he’s had to be patient,” the defender told reporters.

“Ideally he would have liked a bit more game time but Diego Costa hit the ground running, scoring a lot of goals.

“Didier’s experience is beneficial and the way he speaks before the games and after defeats when you’re down and you need an old head to help.

“At times we’ve been worried after defeats and he’s said that it happens and we’ll bounce back and be alright. When you hear that from someone like him, everyone takes it on board.

“Let’s hope he’s in the camp next season. He’s got a massive part to play on and off the field. He’s shown that on the field but off the field he really has got a massive part to play.”

However, Terry has spoken, but will it be react for club to keep him for one more season? We await your reactions.
