Chelsea staff damage Champions League trophy Meanwhile, Former Chelsea striker Didier Drogba's long-expected move to big-spending Shanghai Shenhua has been confirmed by the Chinese club's owner, according to media reports. Zhu Jun, who reportedly visited Drogba's native Ivory Coast last week, said the 34-year-old was joining the club, but said no date for his arrival has been set and refused to discuss terms of his contract, the official Xinhua News Agency said. Unconfirmed local reports said Shenhua was willing to offer the centre forward as much as $15 million per year. A club spokeswoman declined to comment on the reports, saying an official notice would be posted to its website. Backed by Zhu's online gaming fortune, Shenhua has already hired former Argentina coach Sergio Batista and another former Chelsea player, Nicolas Anelka. Drogba's move to Shenhua has been speculated for months. He had also been approached by Al Wasl of the United Arab Emirates, coached by Diego Maradona, but its bid was less than Shenhua was believed offering. Drogba capped his Chelsea career by scoring the equalising goal and then the penalty shootout winner in Chelsea's Champions Lehae victry last month. Prior to his nine years at Chelsea, he had spells at French clubs LeMans, Guingamp and Marseille.
