BEIJING - Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua has reportedly reached an agreement with Didier Drogba, and it appears just a matter of time before he joins the club.
According to Oriental Sports Daily, a newspaper in Shanghai, Zhou Jun, chairman of Shenhua, arrived in Paris on Thursday to secure another foreign player for the club. That player reportedly is the 33-year-old Chelsea forward.
The paper said Drogba's agent promised Shenhua will be the Ivorian striker's first choice if he chooses to play in China. The relationship between Shenhua and the Blues was formed during the sides' negotiations over former Chelsea striker Nicolas Anelka.
