CHELSEA striker Didier Drogba will not be joining Guangzhou Evergrande after the defending national champion ended speculation over a bold transfer swoop. "We have (had) no contact with Drogba whatsoever, nor... authorized anyone to contact him," the club said. "The recent Drogba reports are pure speculation, he is not in our plans."
Drogba, 33, could now be closer to joining Shanghai Shenhua after it signed his Chelsea striking partner Nicola Anelka last month. Dalian Aerbin has also been linked with Drogba.
Shanghai director Zhou Jun was quoted as saying: "We will wait for Guangzhou for 10 days... if they do not act, we will."
An unnamed Guangzhou official responded: "(Shanghai) may already have signed Drogba, 80 percent possibility, Zhu's words may be just be hype."
