Didier Drogba has cast more doubt over his Chelsea future by declaring he plans to leave at the end of the season.

The Ivory Coast star first revealed his desire to leave Stamford Bridge in October following the departure of Jose Mourinho as manager.

Drogba has reiterated his wish to move on in the summer and says his mind has not changed from when he first admitted he wanted to leave.

The former Marseille star admits the exit of Mourinho has helped push him towards the exit door at Stamford Bridge.

"It comes from me, I said what I am thinking, that I wanted to leave," Drogba told Eurosport.

Problem

"The problem is that I say that I want to leave since two or three years.

"Mourinho's departure didn't help, to the contrary it made my desire to leave even bigger.

Drogba has been linked with a possible reunion with Mourinho at Italian giants Milan, but the striker says he is only concentrating on winning the African Cup of Nations.

"I am not going to speak about my next club and my major objective is the ACN and winning all the interests we have to win when I'll return for Chelsea."
