Didier Drogba is believed to have been in contact with Chelsea teammate Nicolas Anelka regarding a possible move to China. Anelka signed for Shanghai Shenhua last month.

This week, Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas told Drogba that he could leave Stamford Bridge in January should he find a club willing to pay the Blues' 8 million asking price.<br />

Drogba has been contacted by agents representing Chinese clubs and the Ivorian is interested to hear what kind of package could be on offer.<br />

The striker has failed to agree a new contract with the Blues this year, with the player requesting a two year contract and club policy restricting the Blues to just a one year offer.<br />

Shanghai Shenhua are amongst the clubs interested in Drogba, and could offer the player a similar package to the one signed by French forward Nicolas Anelka. The contract is believed to be worth 180,000 GBP per week over two and a half years.
