Drogba decision in 10 days

Thierno Seydi, Didier Drogba's agent, has confirmed that the player's future will be decided within the next ten days. It is understood that the Ivory Coast international could well stay at Chelsea though.

He said: "Didier has given himself 10 days. If nothing happens he'll stay and extend his contract by two years. He doesn't see himself starting training in a few days with Chelsea and then leaving to a new club.

"The reality of November is not that of today. At the time Didier was affected by departure of Jose Mourinho who he was very close to. Today, there is nothing to say that he won't stay at Chelsea."
