Didier Drogba insists he will not have a problem with Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney taking the Premier League's top scorer honours if it means that Chelsea can pip their rivals to winning the league title.
Rooney currently leads the goal scoring charts in the top-flight, with 26 goals to his name. The Ivorian is hot on the heels of the England international, with 24 strikes.
"You know what, if I don't finish top scorer I won't mind... as long as we win the league," Drogba said, according to The Sun.
"I won the Golden Boot in 2007 and it would give me great pleasure to do it again but what is really important for me is the Premier League title.
"Football is a team sport," he insisted.
"It is nice to have individual honours but much better when you share the medals with your friends and team-mates.
"This season has been a long and difficult one.
"It would be a poor season if I finished top scorer but Chelsea didn't win a trophy."
Chelsea take on Manchester United in a potential title decider at Old Trafford on April 3.
