Didier Drogba has revealed that he is yet to make a decision over where he will play his football next term, but will make up his mind in the near future.

The African hitman has left Stamford Bridge after his Chelsea contract expired, departing after helping the Blues to FA Cup and Champions League glory in 2011-12.

The Ivory Coast international has been linked with a move to a raft of clubs, with a big-money switch to join former Chelsea team-mate Nicolas Anelka at Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua thought to be on the cards.

Drogba has not dropped any hints of where he will play in 2012-13, but has stated that an announcement will be made in the near future.

“The next step is interesting,” Drogba told reporters, published by Sky Sports.

“I will announce it soon. But as of now, you will just have to wait.

“Chelsea were very good for me. I shared a special relationship with the club.

“It was a difficult decision to leave them,” he concluded.
