Chelsea veteran Didier Drogba has announced that the Premier League game at home to Sunderland later on Sunday will be the final appearance of his second spell at the club.
Drogba, 37, returned to Chelsea last year, having previously spent eight years at the club between 2004 and 2012, winning 12 trophies and scoring the decisive penalty against Bayern Munich in the 2012 Champions League final.
The former Ivory Coast striker has contributed to Chelsea's successes in the league and League Cup this season, but having only played a bit-part role, he has decided to leave Stamford Bridge for a second time.
"I want to play for at least one more season and in order to play more football, I feel I need to go to another club," Drogba told the club website.
"All the fans know my love for Chelsea and I hope to be back here in the future in another role."
