Ipswich co-owner jokes he may tempt Chelsea legend Didier Drogba out of retirement having previously persuaded him to finish his playing days at Phoenix Rising... and claims he would 'destroy League One' - even at 43!

Ipswich Town co-owner Berke Bakay has joked that former Chelsea legend Didier Drogba would 'destroy League One' if he came out of retirement.

Drogba scored 104 goals in 254 Premier League games for Chelsea - picking up two golden boots and four league titles - before finishing his career at US second-tier side Phoenix Rising.

Bakay, who has a longstanding friendship with Drogba, says he has not yet discussed the possibility of the striker joining the club but insists he would be 'incredible' and that he would score at least '25 goals'.

Having scored 17 goals in 26 games for the Arizona-based side before retiring at 40 years old, Bakay joked that he would be keen to see the now 43-year-old come out of retirement.
