Shanghai Shenhua still in pursuit of Chelsea’s Drogba
Chinese Super League club Shanghai Shenhua believe they are still in the race to sign Chelsea star Didier Drogba.
The Ivory Coast striker has recently emerged as a target for Shanghai, who have already signed Nicolas Anelka from the Blues, with some reports suggesting a deal had been done.
Shanghai director Zhou Jun moved quickly to deny those claims but said there was a chance a contract could still be agreed.
"Maybe we can complete a deal before Chinese New Year [January 23],” he said.
