I Am The StarThe Ivorian striker, along with Salomon Kalou, is in Ghana for the African Nations' Cup, leaving The Blues short in the striking department.
Faced with losing serious ground during the coming five weeks, Chelsea have been quick to complete the signing of Nicolas Anelka from Bolton, which, while offering respite at the moment, could lead to problems.
When the Africans return, Chelsea will have five strikers at their disposal, but what is potentially more worrying is the fact that either Drogba or Anelka will have to sit on the bench unless Grant decides to change formation.
However, the Ivorian striker is unconcerned, and insists he remains the star.
"I am not arrogant, but I do believe I am a big star for Chelsea," he told the News of the World.
"When I return, I will be going at it 200 per cent because I want to win some titles this season."
"I am not worried by reinforcements in the Chelsea attack. Anelka arriving is no problem for me. It will only make the team more competent."
We Could Play Together
He also believes he can forge a strike partnership with the Frenchman.
"I've played alongside lots of other strikers at the club, and we could do the same," he added.
There have been reports that if Anelka can strike it rich, Chelsea may be willing to offload Drogba to Milan in the summer, after the striker had three separate run-ins with the club bosses since Jose Mourinho's departure.
