Chelsea striker Didier Drogba has insisted that he will see out his current contract at Stamford Bridge.

The 33-year-old, who opened the scoring in the Blues' 3-0 win at Newcastle United on Saturday, has been linked with a move away from the club.

"I always said that I will honour my contract with Chelsea until the very end, and for the moment the end is in 2012," he told Canal+.

"I am fine here and my personal case is not an important factor for me at the moment.

"The important thing is to try and get Chelsea back to the summit of the Premier League."

The win at the Sports Direct Arena has lifted Drogba and his teammates up into fourth in the Premier League table.
