Ibrahimovic: Inter don't need Drogba

Inter Milan forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic has poured cold water on reports linking Chelsea’s Didier Drogba to the San Siro by claiming the Ivorian’s services are not needed.

Drogba has been heavily linked with a move to join his old boss Jose Mourinho at Inter since the Italian media claimed the Ivory Coast star had held a meeting with Mourinho’s agent Jorge Mendes earlier this week.

Mourinho has already denied any knowledge of the alleged meeting, and Inter president Massimo Moratti has also told the Italian press his side do not need any more strikers.

Now Ibrahimovic too insists between him and Brazilian forward Adriano the Nerazzurri have more than enough firepower to defend their Scudetto.

“He (Drogba) is a great player, one that thanks to his physical strength scores so many goals,” the Sweden international told Corriere dello Sport.

“But when it comes to great strikers we already have plenty. Adriano for example can make a massive difference if he’s fit. I really enjoy playing alongside him and he creates a lot of space for me.”
