Drogba swayed by Chelsea big bucks

DIDIER DROGBA revealed last night how Chelsea’s increased financial and sporting clout had convinced him to end his Marseille love affair.

The striker said he initially wanted to turn down the chance of a move to the Premiership giants, before realising the enormity of the opportunity.

The 26-year-old could complete his transfer from Marseille today, with the sticking point of a fee now having been agreed by the clubs, but he was far from convinced that Chelsea were the club for him a fortnight ago.
