Didier Drogba has stated that he backs the new foreign player rules in the Turkish Super League.
The new changes which will be brought in by the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) next season will permit Süper Lig clubs to sign 14 foreign players.
The former Galatasaray striker spoke with Anadolu Agency reporters while attending the Football Writers’ Association award ceremony.
“The number of foreign players in a team is not important,” Drogba said to AA.
“This is how it should be in every league. The foreign players who come into the league share and pass on their knowledge to the home grown talent.
“Having a good combination of home grown players and foreign players is important.”
