Chelsea`s Drogba would love to play with Eto`o at Barcelona (17.01.2008)
LONDON (AFP) — Chelsea striker Didier Drogba admits he would love to form a dream partnership with Samuel Eto`o at Barcelona.
Drogba has made it clear several times this season that he will consider his future at Stamford Bridge at the end of the current campaign.
The Ivory Coast star, currently on African Nations Cup duty, appears to be leaning towards a move to Barcelona after his glowing tribute to Nou Camp idol Eto`o.
"Any striker in my situation would say they`d be really happy to get the chance to play alongside Samuel," Drogba told
the Daily Express.
"I don`t see why it should not happen. It would be something exceptional. But Barcelona would need to get their chequebook out to make it happen.
"The things I love about Samuel are his pace, his instinct for goals, his running and simply the fact he is indispensable to Barcelona."
Cameroon forward Eto`o believes his pace and Drogba`s power would be a formidable combination.
"I don`t see why both of us can`t play for the same side," Eto`o added. "Just imagine what a team containing Didier and me would be like."
