Anyone who thought that Didier Drogba didn’t have anything left in the tank needs to watch just three or four of him games with the Montreal Impact. The two-time Golden Boot winner has turned the moribund club into the hottest team in MLS, poised to make an incredible run in the MLS Cup Playoffs.
With the Chelsea legend only a few weeks away from needing work at the conclusion of the MLS season, however, there are rumours that he is poised to make a return to Europe on loan.
That in mind, let’s take a look at which Premier League clubs would most benefit from bringing the 37-year-old striker back to England:

5. Tottenham Hotspur
Harry Kane can’t do it by himself. The team is just one veteran scorer from making a serious run at a top four finish.
4. Leicester City
Much like the Spurs, the Foxes are just one more player away from a great finish. Drogba could pick up the slack from Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy when they inevitably struggle.
3. Liverpool
Jurgen Klopp would be a fool to rest his season on the oft-injured body of Christian Benteke and the inconsistent Philippe Coutinho. Drogba can open up a lot of opportunities and be a huge help in the Europa League.
Wayne Rooney has to return to form eventually, and Anthony Martial can only get better with experience. But if the Red Devils want to make a serious run at the Premier League right now, they need an extra scoring threat.
1. Chelsea
Drogba could be a huge help in Chelsea’s hunt for the Champions League even if the Premier League appears out of reach. But the Blues definitely need someone (anyone) to score from the forward position.
