Chelsea legend Didier Drogba has ruled out returning to the Premier League on-loan.

Drogba, now a star with Montreal Impact, has been linked with a loan move to Chelsea.

But he says he wants to devote a full preseason to his MLS club.

"I would obviously be honored," said Drogba.

"But I think I need to rest and take care of my family and then come back to Montreal and have a good season."
