Didier Drogba looks likely to sign a new 4 year deal once the team returns from their pre-season Asia – Russia tour. Scolari has already stated that the Ivorian forward is “100% - no – 200% part of my plans” and Kenyon looks likely to seal Drogba´s future at the Bridge within the next week.
Milan, Barcelona and Inter have all expressed interest in securing Drogba´s signature and despite Milan vice-president Gallini claiming that Chelsea gave him permission to talk to the player, the Rossoneri must have been reluctant or unable to meet a substantial asking price.

"I am confident talks with Chelsea will lead to a positive resolve about my future.”
"Chelsea want to speak and I am oat pen to talk.”
"Things have not changed but I am a Blues player.”
"Money is not the main factor and if Chelsea show they want me it is possible to accept a proposition."
Drogba already has two more years remaining on his current contract in any case but it looks as if Chelsea fans can lick their lips in anticipation at a pairing of Anelka and Drogba that Grant didn’t appear to want to use.
Let’s hope that his knee heals once and for all.
