Drogba insists he is happy at Chelsea: But Marseille tempting

Didier Drogba says his future belongs to Chelsea.

Since arriving in France this week, Drogba has been challenged to explain why he expressed a wish in the past to end his career by playing at Marseille, yet has since made similar noises about Chelsea.

He is sure of impressive welcome from l'OM fans at the game but said: "I am glad to be here for this game and see some familiar faces.

"All I can say is I have been six years at Chelsea and I am happy there and my family are happy. Of course Marseille is tempting but there are so many parameters that come into play and I can say that I feel well at Chelsea and I could end it there.

"I can never forget Marseille because it allowed me to explode and reach another level. I could know the Champions League and it also gave the chance for someone like Jose Mourinho to get me and let me play for Chelsea."
