Didier Drogba finally seems ready to commit his future to Chelsea after spending much of the last 12 months trying to engineer a move away from Stamford Bridge.

The Ivory Coast international has returned to form since Guus Hiddink replaced Luiz Felipe Scolari as Blues boss and is enjoying his football once again.

He still has 15 months to run on his current contract but agent Thierno Seydi claims now is the time to start talking about a new deal.

Seydi said: "He is happy and playing well and his return to form and scoring goals points to the fact he is enjoying his football.

"If Chelsea present a new proposition then we will study it and, after that, he will make a decision on his future.

"It was important for him to return to his best level, without bad injuries, and he has shown he's one of the best players in Europe.

"A lot of big clubs in Europe have asked about him but we will not make any decision until the end of the season. There are big opportunities at Chelsea."
