Drogba wants to stay at Chelsea

Didier Drogba has admitted that he wants to continue his career with Chelsea but revealed that his future is far from decided.

The 33-year-old striker has reportedly been in negotiations over an extension at Stamford Bridge over the past few months. However, a failure to agree a deal has sparked rumours that the Ivorian is seeking a move away from the Blues.

Former teammate Nicolas Anelka recently suggested that Drogba is closing in on a switch to Chinese Super League club Shanghai Shenhua.

"The chances of me being a Chelsea player next season? I don't know," Drogba told Sky Sports News. "There are a lot of rumours.

"Everybody knows I want to stay at Chelsea. Everybody knows my heart is blue. If I sign a new contract with Chelsea I'm blue, if I go anywhere else I'll still stay blue."

The striker's current contract with the former Premier League champions expires at the end of the season.
