Chelsea's Ivorian striker Didier Drogba said on Wednesday that he wants to play alongside Samuel Eto'o in Barcelona. The Ivory Coast captain has been threatening to leave Chelsea in the end of the season. "If any striker in the world were offered the chance to play next to Samuel, he'd tell you that would be inspirational," Drogba was quoted as saying by The Sun. "I love his style; he's unbelievably quick and has a killer instinct in front of goal." Drogba leads his national team side in the African Cup of Nations, starting in Ghana on Sunday as Eto'o captains Cameroon in the same tournament. Both players featured against each other as Barcelona and Chelsea clashed three times in the past three editions of the Champions League. They also met in the African Cup of Nations 2006 as Ivory Coast ousted Cameroon in the quarter-finals on their way to the final match. Eto'o was also full of praise of Drogba. "I'd love to partner him up front. He's unique, nobody in the world plays like him," Eto'o said.
