Carlo Ancelotti says he is the world's best centre forward, so fasten your seat-belts and hold on tight. Here comes three more years of Didier Drogba. Drogba has agreed the details of a new deal at Chelsea and is expected to sign on his return from the pre-season tour of America. This is quite something for a player who has tested the club's patience to the extreme with his diving, general on-field demeanour and regular comments about his desire to leave. A year ago, following his red card in the Champions League final,the prospect of Drogba staying beyond his current deal, due to expirein 2010, seemed remote. That was before his flashpoints with Burnley fans, former managerLuiz Felipe Scolari and referee Tom Henning Ovrebo - but he doespossess rare qualities on the pitch, priceless to the modern coach.
