Chelsea:Outgoing Chelsea striker Didier Drogba promised an imminent announcement of his "interesting" move to a new club but would not confirm heading for the big-spending Chinese team Shanghai Shenhua.
“The next step is going to be an interesting one and I think soon I’m going to announce it,” Drogba, on his first visit to India for a promotional event, told the moderator of a packed news conference on Sunday. “For now, I’ll just ask you to wait a few moments.”
Organisers of the news conference would not take questions from reporters on Drogba’s move. Shanghai Shenhua coach Sergio Batista has confirmed the Chinese Super League club was negotiating with the prolific 34-year-old Ivory Coast international.
“There is a big possibility he will come [to Shenhua] but it will depend on the hard work the club puts into bringing him here, the former Argentina coach said on Thursday.
Drogba, however, spoke fondly of his days in Chelsea and leaving on a high having scored the winning penalty in last month’s shoot out victory over Bayern Munich in the Champions League final.
