Didier Drogba committed to Shanghai Shenhua

Didier Drogba has reaffirmed his commitment to Shanghai Shenhua.

It was last week reported that the Ivorian was to be released from his contract in a power dispute between the club's directors.

Despite the rumours later being quashed, the 34-year-old has now moved to clarify the situation.

"For the 2013 African Cup of Nations, I will do everything to remain competitive by being in China," Drogba is quoted as saying by L'Equipe.

Drogba moved to China on a free transfer after six years with Chelsea.
