Didier
Drogba brought down the curtain on a trophy-laden career at Chelsea on
Tuesday when he announced he would be leaving the club after eight years
in West London.
The Cote d’Ivoire striker will leave when his
contract expires at the end of June and is now odds-on to follow his
former team-mate Nicolas Anelka to China.
He leaves the club on a high after a starring role in
Saturday’s Champions League final when he scored an emphatic late
headed equaliser before coolly slotting home the decisive penalty in the
shootout.
It capped a glittering period at Stamford Bridge
where he also won three Premier League titles, four FA Cups and two
League Cups.
“I wanted to put an end to all the speculation and confirm that I am leaving Chelsea,” Drogba said on the club website.
“It has been a very difficult decision for me to make
and I am very proud of what we have achieved but the time is right for a
new challenge for me.”
