Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho insists he wants to keep Hernan Crespo and Didier Drogba, but won't stand in their way if they are desperate to quit Stamford Bridge.

The pair have been quoted to be seeking pastures new following the arrival of Andriy Shevchenko this summer.
But Mourinho said: "Both Hernan and Didier are Chelsea players.
"If they desire to leave Chelsea so much then I will have to let them go if the conditions are good for Chelsea.
"Everybody knows what Hernan and Didier have done in the last few years.
"We also have some good young strikers here but all believe we have a better squad now with the strikers we have.
"The squad is full of quality and it gives me the ability to try different combinations for different games.
"All the players here will play a big part in our success and we need the team to win the league."
