Chelsea captain, John Terry urges club to keep veteran striker

Chelsea captain John Terry has urged the club to extend the stay of veteran striker, Didier Drogba.

The Ivorian was signed last summer on a one-year-contract and his future at the club is still uncertain.

But John Terry hopes Chelsea can keep hold of Drogba.

"He's been great because he's had to be patient," Terry said.

"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."
