Shanghai Shendua confident over Drogba transfer talks
Didier Drogba
The big spending Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua’s owner Jun Zhu has announced that talks to get Drogba to sign for the club in the summer is going “as planned”.
Didier Drogba who helped Chelsea win their first ever Champions League title announced on Tuesday he will be exiting the London club in the summer following the expiration of his contract.
The 34-year-old Ivorian international signed from Marseille for £24million in 2004 and is now widely speculated to join up with his former Chelsea team-mate Nicolas Anelka on a lucrative free transfer.
Reports have suggested that Drogba could be set to earn £250,000-per-week in at the Asian spending club.
Drogba’s impact at Chelsea has an enormous effect as he has scored 157 goals in 341 appearances for the club over eight years, a spell which saw him become the first ever African player to score 100 goals in the Premier League, and the only player to score in four different FA Cup finals.
