Didier Drogba to sign for Chinese club
DIDIER DROGBA is poised to sign an incredible £270,000-a-week deal to quit Chelsea and join Chinese side Shanghai Shenhua in the summer.
The Chinese club have been chasing the Ivory Coast striker for some time and are close to finalising details on a three-year deal for Drogba, 33, to join the country’s Super League.
Drogba will link up again with Nicolas Anelka, who left Chelsea this month for £200,000-a-week.
Shenhua owner Zhu Jun said: “It’s like flirting with a girl. Perhaps she will resist you at first, but if you continue to ask her out, it always ends well. Never give up.
“Everything is going well, though there have been obstacles.”
