DIDIER Drogba will arrive in Shanghai by July 13 "at the latest" to join his new club Shanghai Shenhua, the team's coach said yesterday, amid huge anticipation he will help turn the club's season around.
"The (Shenhua) club told me his (Drogba) arrival will be on July 13th at the latest," coach Sergio Batista told reporters, according to a transcript of a press conference posted on the club's website. A Shenhua club official confirmed the news, but would not disclose more details on the matter. "Certainly I wish he could arrive as early as possible," Batista said about the 34-year-old Ivory Coast forward. Shenhua has made a poor start to its Chinese Super League campaign this year despite former France forward Nicolas Anelka joining the team to much fanfare, winning just three games and ranking 12th in the 16-club league.
