Drogba urges Vieira swoop

Didier Drogba has urged Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti to make a move for ex-Arsenal midfielder Patrick Vieira in the January transfer window.

The Barclays Premier League leaders are unable to bring in new players due to a transfer embargo imposed by FIFA, but should the club’s appeal against that ruling be successful, Drogba believes veteran midfielder Vieira should be the first name on Ancelotti’s wish-list.
