Top 10 signings ever made by Jose Mourinho

#1 Didier Drogba (£34.65m from Olympique Marseille)

Drogba became the face of Chelsea's success

Considering he came from the French league after only one season with Marseille, Drogba's transfer fee raised a few eyebrows at the time. What followed were eight years of witnessing one of the best strikers the league has seen.

Drogba had everything - strength, speed, heading ability, you name it, he had it. Ever since joining the league in 2004, Drogba was almost unplayable for most defenses and most importantly, he always turned up when he was needed the most.

Although his Premier League track record is already impressive, the Ivorian's favorite competition was always the Champions League. During his 74 appearances with Chelsea in Europe's elite competition, he scored 36 goals and assisted 12. He was certainly the man for the big stage.

Drogba scored 10 or more league goals in every season under Jose Mourinho and he is the type of player, that he hopes to have rediscovered in Romelu Lukaku. Drogba's aggressiveness whilst leading the line up front and his ability to create something out of nothing made him a Chelsea club legend and arguably, Mourinho's best signing of all time
