Rumours have been rife since before even the start of the summer that the Ivorian hit-man is keen to try one last new challenge in his career, with speculation linking him to Barcelona, Inter and AC Milan alternating in intensity.

Whether by personal choice or circumstances beyond his control, Drogba is still very much a Chelsea player with just about two-and-a-half weeks remaining before the official start of the Premier League campaign, and it's looking increasingly likely that it will stay that way.

"Frankly there is nothing to departure to talk about because there is no departure in store," Agent Tierno Seydhi told Sport Ivoire.

"He has a contract with Chelsea and is not close to joining any other team."

Drogba, 31, joined the West London club from Marseille in 2004 and after a slow start to his Chelsea career has established himself as one of the Blues’ most important players. He has won two league titles during his time in London and one FA Cup.
