He won four Premier League titles at Stamford Bridge, as well as four FA Cups, three League Cups and one Champions League
Drogba told RMC Sport: "Ah, do you want a scoop? I think next year will be my last season.
"At some point you have to stop. I need to have time for my other projects."

He left Chelsea in the summer of 2015 to move to America and spent two seasons with Montreal Impact in the MLS.
