Manchester City manager, Manuel Pellegrini, is searching for
a new striker after losing Alvaro Negredo to a broken foot, Daily Star reports.
Spanish star Negredo broke his metatarsal and will be
sidelined for up to four months, leaving the ex-Real Madrid manager short on
attacking options as his champions get set to defend the English Premier League
title.
It is understood Pellegrini could turn to former Chelsea
star Didier Drogba as he looks to lure a top class hitman to the Etihad
Stadium.
Drogba is considering a return to Stamford Bridge after
leaving Galatasaray at the end of last season.
He is understood to have a number of options on the table
and will make a decision on his future this week.
But Pellegrini believes the 36-year-old could be a viable
option on a 12-month contract to improve his striking options now that Negredo
is sidelined.
Drogba is a cult-hero at the Blues, but the chance to land a
lucrative short-term deal with the reigning champions could tempt the Ivory
Coast captain to pick City instead of his old hunting ground.
