Chelsea legend Drogba tells Arsenal, Liverpool: I'm committed to Shanghai Shenhua

Chelsea legend Didier Drogba insists he's committed to Shanghai Shenhua.

The Ivorian striker quit Chelsea for Shanghai Shenhua in the summer.

A power struggle at the Chinese outfit alerted Arsenal and Liverpool that Drogba could be off.

But the hitman insists he is loving life at his new club.

He said: "I'm really happy here, so I have no reasons to leave. I don't want to leave.

"I want to stay here as long as I can, win some trophies with my team and make our fans very happy.

"It's difficult at the moment but I know that there is hope and I believe also revealed he intends to see out the remainder of his contract in Shanghai.

"My contract is two and a half years and maybe more. Maybe more and I hope more because I'm really happy here.

"I miss the Premier League because it's the best league in the world but, really, I don't regret my choice."
