Didier Drogba leaving Chelsea

LONDON -- Didier Drogba's Champions League-winning penalty kick was his last contribution to Chelsea, with the striker announcing Tuesday he was leaving the club after eight years.
The 34-year-old Ivory Coast international clinched Chelsea's first European title with the final kick in a shootout Saturday against Bayern Munich after producing the equalizer that forced the final into extra time.
The goals took Drogba's total to 157 in 341 appearances for Chelsea.
Drogba reportedly has been mulling a move to China, where former Chelsea teammate Nicolas Anelka went in January to join Shanghai Shenhua, which he now coaches.
