Former Chelsea ace striker Didier Drogba has confirmed his move to Chinese Shanghai Shenhua.
The 34-year-old Ivorian confirmed the long expected move Tuesday after agreeing to a two and a half year deal with the club worth about £200,000 a week.
Drogba said: “I have considered all the offers I have received in the past few weeks, but feel that Shanghai Shenhua FC is the right move for me at this time.
“I am looking forward to a new challenge, to experiencing a new culture, and am excited about the new developments in the Chinese Super League.
“When Chelsea went to China last year, we had a great time and I met some amazing fans.
“I hope to help promote Chinese football around the world and further improve the links between China and Africa.”
Didier Drogba who has scored 157 goals for Chelsea in all competitions is expected to join former team mate Nicolas Anelka who also moved to the Chinese League club in January.
