Chelsea legendary striker Didier Drogba has reportedly emerged as a surprise loan target for Napoli, according to Calciomercato.it.

The 38-year-old, who scored a remarkable 65 goals in 105 international caps for his native Ivory Coast, is understood to be under consideration at the Serie A outfit following the news that summer signing Arkadiusz Milik will be ruled out until at least next year with a serious knee injury.

Hence why Drogba, who netted 164 goals in 381 games for Premier League side Chelsea during two separate spells at Stamford Bridge, is being lined up as potential cover from the forthcoming January transfer window.

Currently with Major League Soccer team Montreal Impact, the Ivorian forward would be available for several months on loan during the USA’s off-season.

Poland international Milik, who competed in this summer’s European Championships in France before sealing his €35m transfer from Ajax, scored an impressive seven goals in his opening nine games for his new club before injury struck.
