Chelsea hot-shot Didier Drogba admits he wants to beat Liverpool’s Fernando Torres to the Premier League Golden Boot – but only if the Blues keep on winning as well.
The Ivory Coast superstar last finished at the top of the goalscorers’ league at the end of the 2006/07 season, with Cristiano Ronaldo and team-mate Nicolas Anelka successful over the last two years respectively.
But Drogba, who has suffered with injuries at times over the last couple of years, is intent on reclaiming his crown although he insists the team always comes before individual glory.
The 31-year-old, who feels the biggest threat to him is Spain star Torres, told the Evening Standard: “It’s nice to have this competition with Torres to finish top scorer. It’s always a good challenge to be part of.
“Three seasons ago I was in a race against Benni McCarthy and Cristiano Ronaldo and I managed to come out on top.
“It’s a big challenge for me to finish ahead of Torres this season and gives me the desire to do more for my team.”
Drogba has already blasted nine league goals this season but Torres leads the way with 10 to his name despite being hampered by groin trouble.
