Chelsea F.C. — Best pictures!

Chelsea new manager Carlo Ancelotti has said that he is happy with the Anelka-Drogba tandem, adding he will be looking to use the combination in the coming season. The two star players are currently among the highest rated in the English Premier League:

Olympique Marseille forward and Senegal international Mamadou Niang (pictured) has replaced departing Karim Benzema (for Real Madrid) at the top of the FTBL ranking of forwards in the French Ligue 1 with 156.13 points.

The future of Cameroon international Samuel Eto’o (pictured), Africa’s best player according to FTBL, remains up in the air as talks between the striker and Barcelona about a contract extension reportedly remain inconclusive.

Chelsea’s Ivorian star striker Didier Drogba is back in the FTBL Top 23 of the Premier League’s best forwards after a month in the wilderness.

Barcelona’s Yaya Toure has surrendered the top spot in the FTBL rating of top African midfielders to Chelsea’s John Obi Mikel (pictured left) after holding it for a few weeks.
