Drogba to leave Chelsea

Chelsea legend Didier Drogba has announced that Sunday's Premier League clash against Sunderland will be his last game for the club.

Didier Drogba has announced he will leave Chelsea following Sunday's season-ending game against Sunderland, in order to play more first-team football.

Drogba - who moved back to Stamford Bridge ahead of the current campaign - is a Chelsea legend, having helped the club to multiple trophies and scoring the winning penalty in the club's UEFA Champions League final win over Bayern Munich in 2012.

Now 37, the Ivorian has been limited to a bit-part role since his return, largely due to the form of Diego Costa.
