Chelsea's Didier Drogba aims to end the season as the top striker in the Premiership and to win the Champions League.

The Ivory Coast international has already scored14 goals in all competitions this term while the Blues have sealed their place in the last 16 of Europe's premier competition.

"All my rivals respect me and that can only be good for Chelsea," Drogba told the News of the World.

"Deciding to stay at Chelsea and my experience in the World Cup means that my aim is not to waste a single goal opportunity.

"I want to finish this season recognised as the best striker in the country. I may be playing well but you haven't seen the best of me yet. I intend to become infallible in the penalty area.

"I am in the best form of my life but still want to do even better for Chelsea. My aim is for us to win the Champions League and for me to score the most goals.

"That ambition burns very strongly because I want to forget my personal frustration of last season.

"Many times I thought about leaving, but I am a warrior, so that was impossible. One thing I am sure of - Chelsea will win the Premiership again.

"Our draw at Old Trafford last week has stopped all the euphoria there. Although the title race is more even this time, we will be top again."
