Chelsea star heading for exit door
Didier Drogba is rumoured to have agreed terms on a move to Chinese Super League side Shanghai Shenhua, according to The Daily Mail.
The Ivory Coast international was the west London club’s hero in the Champions League final win over Bayern Munich on Saturday, scoring the equaliser in normal time before slotting home the decisive penalty in the shoot-out.
Despite the African forward’s heroics, it is believed that he has kicked his last ball for the Blues, and will now join former team-mate Nicolas Anelka at the big-spending Asian side.
Drogba’s contract is expiring in the summer, and is eager for a two-year deal at Stamford Bridge, however Chelsea are thought to be unwilling to offer anything longer than one year.
Shanghai are thought to have offered Drogba £250,000-a-week, and confirmation of the deal may well be forthcoming.
