Didier Drogba will play his last game for Chelsea today
Drogba has revealed today will be his last ever game for Chelsea as he looks for pastures new.
The Ivory Coast international has plans for one more professional season and believes better opportunities will arise away from the Blues.
He said: "I want to play for at least one more season and in order to play more football I feel I need to go to another club."
However, the front-man reassured Chelsea fans that it would not be the last they will see of him, as he confirmed he's looking for a future role at the club.
