Drogba said he wanted to quit the Blues following the departure of Jose Mourinho.
Lamps said: “Didier’s the best striker I’ve played with.
“There are different types of player. There’s Wayne Rooney who comes off and creates and scores goals but there is no better out-and-out striker than Drogba.
“He’s got an all-round game — pace, power and he’s also a team player who scores goals with his head and feet.
“He’s the best. He’s a great lad to have around in the dressing room and he always fights to the end. There’s no one better in world football.
“It’s really important he stays as you want players like Didier Drogba alongside you.
“He’ll make his own decision. Even with the controversy that’s surrounded him in the last week, he has put in a couple of performances that have shown what he’s all about.”
