Chinese side http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Didier-Drogba-c11044 in the next few days.
Reports reveal that Shenhua are currently in talks with the English Premier League side regarding a possible move for star striker Drogba. Having already signed http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nicolas-Anelka-c27786 earlier on in the transfer window, Drogba will be the second Blues striker they
are planning to sign in the same transfer window.
Drogba, who is currently away to the African Cup of Nations representing Ivory Coast, is known to be unhappy at Stamford Bridge. The 33-year-old has had to face competition from the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Romelu-Lukaku-c31672.
More often than not, Drogba has been dropped from the squad in favour of the much younger striker despite the fact that they were underperforming. Ever since the departure of Jose Mourinho, Drogba has been linked with a move away from Chelsea.
However, despite the various offers and links to the likes of AC Milan, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan and Real Madrid, Drogba has stayed with the Blues. Into his eighth season at the club, Drogba could finally be nearing towards an exit if the London side fail to retain him.
Club board member Zhou Jun revealed he was confident the Chinese side could secure the signature of the Ivorian before next Monday. He revealed they had already had talks and had so far not been turned down despite Villas-Boas previously claiming Drogba
was not for sale.
Zhou Jun said in an interview:
“Everything is going well so far though there have been a few obstacles. They never turned us down, which is good for us.”
According to the Shenhua board member, the arrival of the likes of Anelka and Drogba would go on to attract many more super stars. It was for this reason they were on a mission to collect the best players from around the world.
He continued:
“It's like making a blockbuster film. When superstars like Jackie Chan, Jet Li and Zhou Xun have confirmed their participation, other actors and actress will be confident of the movie.”
