Didier Drogba announced on Sunday that the Premier League game against Sunderland would be his last as a Chelsea player. However, Drogba has no plans to retire from football just yet and will leave Stamford Bridge to pursue his playing career.

The 37-year-old striker returned to the club last summer on a one-year deal and helped win a fourth Premier League title.

“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,” Drogba said on the club’s website.

“All the fans know my love for Chelsea and I hope to be back here in the future in another role.”

Speaking to Sky Sports ahead of Sunday’s game, he added, “I spoke with the manager and the board and we all agreed that as I wanted to enjoy a bit more the pitch, they will let me go.

“I will always come back here. It is good to know the club want me to come back and be part of the future of this team. I am happy how we found this solution.”
