It is expected that Chelsea striker Didier Drogba will be signing a new four year deal at Stamford Bridge.

The thirty year old Ivory Coast international has hinted that he will be staying despite the interest shown by AC Milan, FC Barcelona and Inter Milan.

Luiz Felipe Scolari has been in contact with Drogba and it is expected that a big – money deal is on the cards in an effort to keep the top striker at the club until 2012.

Drogba added that money is not the issue and he hopes that an agreement can be reached as soon as possible.
