Chelsea legends delighted as Isaac Drogba signs for Guingamp

The son of Chelsea legend Didier Drogba has signed for his former club Guingamp.

Striker Isaac Drogba, 17, has linked up with the top-flight French club's under-19 side after leaving Chelsea's academy.

His father posted a message on Instagram, which read: "Couldn't be more proud of you Isaac Drogba."

And two other Chelsea legends reacted to the news.

Frank Lampard wrote: "Congratulations! I remember Isaac as the small polite boy! Now a man!"

And ex-Blues captain John Terry said: "Can't believe how big he is mate, congratulations."

And Isaac could be a future England international.

Back in 2015, Drogba said: "I asked him which nationality do you want to play for,' father 36-year-old Didier explained.

"He's French, but he said he does not want to play for Ivory Coast or France, he wants to play for England."
