London - Didier Drogba has extended his contract with Chelsea, tying him to the club until 2012.
'I have decided to extend my contract with Chelsea for two extra years and I am very happy and proud to continue to wear the blue of Chelsea until then, the 31-year-old Ivory Coast striker said.
'I love the club, I feel good here and I want to continue to win titles with them. I stay because I am ambitious to pick up lots more trophies, regain the Premier League title, win cups, it's for this that I have extended my time at Chelsea.
'But my No 1 objective is to win the Champions League. I am convinced that this year we can go to the end and finally lift this trophy.
Drogba scored 14 goals last season but his time on the pitch was interrupted by injury.
