Didier Drogba has asked FIFA for special permission
to move on loan from his Chinese club despite being outside the official
transfer window and Chelsea are keen to re-sign the striker.
FIFA said Wednesday it is considering the former
Chelsea forward's request for an exemption from international rules and
Sportsmail understands that the Stamford Bridge club are keen for the striker
to return to west London, even if it is just for a month.
'The FIFA administration services are looking into
it,' FIFA said in a statement.
Drogba's
season with Chinese Super League club Shanghai Shenhua finished this month.
If FIFA grants Drogba's request, the 34-year-old
Ivory Coast captain could play for a new team to prepare for the African Cup of
Nations, which kicks off on January 19 in South Africa.
Existing rules prevent Drogba from representing
another club until January 1.
