London, Oct.7 Didier Drogba has told Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti to snap up Inter Milan ace Patrick Vieira in January.

The Blues have appealed against their 18-month transfer ban and if the appeal is upheld, Drogba feels that selecting Viera would be a good move for Chelsea.

"Don't forget we are going to miss several players in January, particularly in midfield, because of the African Nations Cup. We played against Vieira last summer and he was very strong," Sun Sport quoted Drogba, as saying. (ANI)
