Chelsea expect Drogba to announce Shanghai Shenhua agreement

Chelsea expect Didier Drogba to soon announce he is joining China's Shanghai Shenhua.

The Daily Mail says it means Drogba's last touch in a Chelsea shirt was to score the winning penalty in the shoot-out that defeated Bayern Munich. He will link up with former team-mate Nicolas Anelka in China in a contract worth around £250,000-a-week net.

His departure will be followed by fresh investment by Roman Abramovich.
