Drogba open to new deal

DIDIER DROGBA is willing to discuss a contract extension with Chelsea.

The Ivory Coast international was an outcast under former boss Luiz Felipe Scolari but the frontman has been revitalised since interim coach Guus Hiddink agreed to take charge until the summer.

Drogba’s current contract expires at the end of next season and there was widespread speculation linking him with a move to Real Madrid in the January transfer window, but the player’s advisor now insists his client is ready to stay at Stamford Bridge.
