John Terry wants Didier Drogba to remain at Chelsea

Chelsea captain John Terry hopes that Didier Drogba will remain at Stamford Bridge after his contract expires this summer.

Chelsea captain John Terry has stated that he wants veteran striker Didier Drogba to stay at the club.

The 37-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and it is understood that the Blues have not discussed fresh terms with the Ivorian yet.

Terry believes that Drogba, who rejoined Chelsea last summer after two years away, still has a lot to offer at Stamford Bridge.

"He's been great because he's had to be patient. Ideally he would have liked a bit more game time," Terry told the Daily Mail.

"Didier's experience and the way he speaks before the games, 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 all right. 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."

Drogba first played for Chelsea between 2004 and 2012 before leaving for Shanghai Shenhua.
