Chelsea striker Didier Drogba has confirmed his intention to leave Stamford Bridge next June.

The Blues star confessed last October that he wants to leave the London club and the Ivorian has once again expressed his intention to move.

The former Marseille star has confirmed that he said to magazine France-Football he has always felt unsettled at Stamford Bridge, but he still wants to win titles before ending his Chelsea adventure.

Drogba has refused to reveal the name of his next club, with Serie A giants Milan possible suitors.

The striker was operated on on December 8 and has not played since the surgery. He is hopeful he will defend his country’s flag during the upcoming African Cup of Nations in Ghana.

“It comes from me, I said what I am thinking, that I wanted to leave,” he told Eurosport.

“The problem is that I say that I want to leave since two or three years.

“Mourinho’s departure didn’t help, to the contrary it made my desire to leave even bigger.

“I am not going to speak about that (his next club), we will in the meantime.

“My major objective is the ACN and winning all the interests we have to win when I’ll return for Chelsea.

“The most important is the Champions League but when you are playing for the English title, you don’t swipe on it.”

It is your opinion, why should anyone eat you up? Tell you what, I also prefer Weah. That's not saying he's a better player than Sheva. But I have this feeing he's so unique. Can drogba be another Weah?

Chelsea have confirmed that they're in talks with Bolton for Anelka. I guess that means they know they can't hold onto Drogba after this season.

I think it's more to do with Drogba, and others, leaving for the African Cup of Nations. This leaves only Sheva and Pizzaro as senior striker at the club, and I'm not sure Grant trusts either of them.

In saying that, they'll probably buy another striker in June anyways, and Milan will take Drogba.

That and Sheva is injured so that leaves them only with Pizzaro. Either Anelka or Berbatov will arrive in this transfer window.

Drogba is full of sh!t. He has been talking about leaving for the last two years. Plus, Chelsea won't sell him for less than at least 30m pounds (The highest Milan payed for a player so far is £28m for Rui Costa).
