Drogba insists he wants to remain at Chelsea

Didier Drogba is keen to remain at Chelsea as rumours surrounding his future continue to circle.

The 33-year old Ivory Coast international has been linked with a Stamford Bridge departure since the arrival of Fernando Torres in January but he insists he wants to stay in a blue shirt.

Reports have suggested that Drogba has been unhappy since the Spaniard came to London but he says that is simply not true.

"That's not the case," he told the London Evening Standard "The best way to prove it is what I'm doing on the pitch.

"I think, from my attitude, people see that I'm involved 200 per cent.

"There will always be talk about my future. I keep saying it, I'm here and I'm giving everything and it's normal that the club wants to buy another striker because we are ambitious and we want to win the Champions League."
