Ivory Coast striker Didier Drogba said on Saturday that he has begun talks with Chelsea over extending his contract, which runs out in the summer of 2012. The 33-year-old prolific frontman has been at Chelsea since joining from French side Marseille in 2004. “We've started talking and it's very interesting. Everybody knows what I feel about Chelsea and what I want,” Drogba was quoted as saying by Sky Sports. “I will definitely be here next season. I said a few years ago that I will be here until the end of my contract, and I am here. Now I need to keep playing well here and giving my best, like I always try to do.” Drogba, who has been linked with a move away from Chelsea this summer, played a key role in helping the Blues win three Premier League titles and as many FA Cups. “This will be my eighth season at this club and it means a lot for any striker to stay that long at Chelsea.”
