Former Chelsea footballer Didier Drogba runs with the 2012 London Olympic torch in the streets of Swindon, west of London, on May 23, 2012. Ivory Coast striker Didier Drogba confirmed on Tuesday he will leave newly-crowned European champions Chelsea when his contract expires at the end of June.
Despite being far from Chelsea’s west London base, many of the crowd were wearing the club’s shirts.
The 34-year-old Ivory Coast striker, who scored the equaliser and then the winning penalty in Saturday’s dramatic Champions League final win over Bayern Munich, said Tuesday he was leaving the club and is reported to be in talks with Chinese side Shanghai Shenhua.
He has admitted he may have been persuaded to stay at Chelsea if they had not won the Champions League for the first time in their history, but with his goal achieved it is time to move on.
