New Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has revealed that a decision on Hernan Crespo´s future at the club will be decided in the next few days.
The Argentine striker´s future at Stamford Bridge has been in doubt for some time, with the player said to be keen on a return to Italy with Milan.
Crespo returned to training late, but he has reportedly impressed Mourinho with his application and the Portuguese tactician is pondering whether to keep the striker on the books.
The decision is set to be made this week and Marseille are likely to monitor the situation closely - as a move for Crespo could well see Mourinho head to Stade Velodrome and attempt to prise Didier Drogba away from l´OM.
Commenting on his strikeforce, and singling out Eidur Gudjohnsen for special praise, Mourinho said: " At the moment, pure strikers, we have one that for me day after day I am thinking is better than what I thought. Eidur. And he´s improving a lot, and I believe that the specificity of our work can improve him a lot. So I´m really happy with that.
" Second is Kezman. He´s here for two reasons, because he can be a target man, he can be a wide man on the right side when we want to play with some attacker on the right side.
" And we need a third man who can be Hernan Crespo. We have to decide in the next few days, and I mean we, we as a club, Hernan, Hernan´s family, what is going to happen with Hernan.
" If the decision is for Hernan to go looking for a new club, we have an open space.
" What I can say is that Didier Drogba is one of the best strikers in Europe and since I played against him and I start looking at him through different eyes, I feel he needs a better club and a better league to show what he really is.
" So he can become a good option if in the next days we decide about Hernan," he told News Of The World.
Dans l´article ils n´en parlent pas, mais j´espère que Chelsea va doner de la thune avec Crespo. De toute façon je vois mal Marseille laisser filer drogba sans gratter de la thune.
Si tu m´entends, Didier, reste stp
