Drogba calls time on eight-year Chelsea career
The 34-year-old striker has opted to leave on a high at the end of his contract, his last kick in a Blues shirt having hit the Champions League-winning penalty in Munich.

He revealed that leaving Stamford Bridge was a tough decision to make, but felt that it was the right time to seek other opportunities.

"I wanted to put an end to all the speculation and confirm that I am leaving Chelsea," Drogba told the club's official website. "It has been a very difficult decision for me to make and I am very proud of what we have achieved but the time is right for a new challenge for me.

"As a team we have accomplished so much and have won every single trophy possible.

"Saturday was a very special moment for everyone at the club and for all the fans, and I am very proud to have played my part in bringing many trophies to this club, which has been my home for the last eight years.

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone at the club especially Roman [Abramovich, owner] and my team-mates, many of whom have become very close friends and will be my friends for life.

"I would also like to say a very special thank you to the Chelsea fans who have shown me so much love and support over the years.

"I wish the club all the best and continued success for the future - you will always be in my heart."

Chelsea chief executive Ron Gourlay praised the impact that the Ivory Coast international has had on the club, stating: "Didier is undoubtedly a Chelsea legend and will always be part of the Chelsea family.

Chelsea have beaten off competition from Manchester City — who had been clear favourites to sign the exciting Belgium international but grew frustrated at the negotiations — Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur after becoming the only club who would go close to meeting the forward’s demands.

City are thought to have walked away from the deal last week with Spurs giving up some time ago. Hazard, currently on international duty and preparing to face England in a friendly this weekend, indicated to Chelsea on Saturday that he was set to accept their offer and yesterday took to the social media site Twitter to announce that he had “made up my mind”, adding last night: “I’m signing for the Champions League winner.”
