Report: Didier Drogba rules out Premier League switch

Didier Drogba has revealed that he will not be leaving Chelsea for a rival Premier League club.

The Ivorian will leave the Blues after only one season back at Stamford Bridge, with North America touted as a possible destination.

However, Drogba has insisted that he will not remain in England.

When asked about whether he would consider a move to the MLS, he told reporters: "Yeah of course, but I am going to take a few days, few weeks to think about what is good for me next. But all I want to do is play.

"A few years ago when I left, I said it before, I would never play for another English team.

"No disrespect to them, there are some brilliant, fantastic teams in the Premier League, but my love for this club, I can't share it with another team."

Chelsea rounded off their Premier League campaign with victory over Sunderland on Sunday, which saw Drogba captain the side in his final appearance.
