BENJANI MWARUWARI is hoping to pull off an audacious coup by luring Chelsea's Uefa Champions League winning hero, Didier Drogba, to play in his testimonial at the National Sports Stadium on Saturday.

The odds on securing Drogba's participation are long but Benjani wants the Chelsea talisman to use the testimonial to celebrate with his African fans following his match-winning show in Munich on Saturday night.

Drogba has been celebrating with his Chelsea teammates and fans in London and paraded the Champions League trophy on an open top bus in the British capital on Sunday as tens of thousands of delirious supporters made their bow.

Benjani believes his testimonial provides Drogba with the perfect opportunity to celebrate his heroic Munich show, in which he scored a late priceless equaliser and stroked home the winning penalty in the shootout, with his African brothers and sisters.
