Drogba Fit for Another Year at Chelsea – Di Matteo


Drogba celebrates his goal against Barca Wednesday night





Those who think that Didier Drogba’s days at Stanford Bridge are numbered may be in for a surprise. This is due to the statement credited to none other than the Blues’ manager and club legend, Roberto Di Matteo who believes that the Ivorian forward is worthy of a new contract at Chelsea.

Although talks are still going on between Drogba, whose current deal is winding down and officials of the club, speculators have continually  linked him with a summer move to China.

According to Di Matteo, “Didier’s fit and he is certainly capable of playing in the premier league for Chelsea, or someone else next year.”

Close watchers believe that Drogba is angling for a two – year extension of his contract, “but the final decision is for the club to take”, declared Di Matteo.
