Chelsea striker Didier Drogba hints that this season could be his "last year" in a Blues shirt.

Chelsea striker Didier Drogba has suggested that he will leave Stamford Bridge at the end of the season.

Questions over the Ivorian's future have been circulating in recent months as the 34-year-old nears the expiration of his current contract with the Blues.

The frontman has insisted that the impending Champions League semi-final against Barcelona should not be centred around his possible final appearance in the elite competition with the London club.

"Rotation has been new for me but there's nothing bad about it if the team is winning games and going forward," said Drogba. "Of course I'd like to play in more games but so would all the other players so I can't complain.

"[The Champions League semi-final] is not about my last year here. I just want to win trophies with Chelsea, with my team and that's the most important thing."

Drogba's former Blues teammate Nicolas Anelka recently claimed that he is hopeful of the forward joining him at Shanghai Shenhua in the summer.
