Raul Meireles has urged Didier Drogba not to leave Stamford Bridge, saying that the striker is still a "key" part of the Chelsea team.
Drogba has been linked to a move from West London as his contract with the Blues runs out next year.
"Drogba is the key to this team. We need Didier and his goals," Meireles told The Sun.
"He scored twice against Valencia last week and another against Newcastle and both times he demonstrated his quality at the decisive moment.
"He'll boost our title charge. We have all spoken in the dressing room and our challenge now is to obtain every home point going until the end of the season."
Chelsea are currently third in the Premier League, seven points off leaders Manchester City.
