The Ivory Coast international, who joined Chelsea from Marseille for £24million in 2004, reached his century in the defeat at Wigan last month.

Drogba feels he is already reaping the benefit from getting off to a slow start in his career having signed his first professional contract with Le Mans at the late age of 21.

The 31-year-old, who agreed a new three-year deal in the summer to keep him at Stamford Bridge until 2012, has scored eight times in 11 starts this term and believes he is on course to reach another impressive landmark.

He said: "I will go on scoring goals for sure and by the grace of God I want to achieve 200 goals for Chelsea. If I'm in good health and don't have any injuries I believe I can do it. I want to do it with some trophies around me and around us, the Champions League especially and the Premier League as well.

"It's important for me, for my friends and the club.

"I believe I have been helped by starting my career so late.

"I feel young in my body even though I'm 31 and I want to run. I'm not tired.

"That's why I say I will do everything to score 200 goals for Chelsea."
