Anelka wants Drogba link up

Nicolas Anelka has admitted he is looking forward to partnering with Didier Drogba, and believes it will be easy for the two to link up. Chelsea's new striker feels he can complement the Ivorian upfront and is ready to adapt his game to suit Drogba's.

"I think it will be easy to play with Drogba," Anelka told Chelsea's official website.

"He is a big player and I know the way he plays. I can play around him or we can play two up front.

"I think I will complement him because I feel I am a creative player.

"I don't want to just be on the pitch to score. I want to play passes, I like to do that.

"I am willing to adapt my game to make sure we are a good partnership. When he comes back it's going to be very good for us together.

"Dennis Bergkamp was very good when I played with him. I hope we could be as good together as that."
