There have been rumors that Chelsea soccer star Didier Drogba would be leaving the club. Days after the club won their first ever Champions League title, Drogba used YouTube to tell fans that he'll be leaving the team this summer. A video was posted to Chelsea's official page where Drogba looked fans in the face and thanked them for their support in his eight years with the club.

“This will be something that we always share, something that will be in our head and blue will always be our blood and our hearts,” Drogba says in the one-and-a-half-minute video. “Thank you very much. Thank you for everything.”

In eight years, he's scored 157 goals, and has helped take the club to three English Premiere league titles and now, a Champions League title.

Drogba, originally from the Ivory Coast, joined Chelsea in 2004 from a French club. His next move is uncertain, but many rumors have him cashing in for a huge, career-ending payday in China’s professional ranks.
