Football Spy: DROG'S LIFE WITH BLUES.

Byline: By JOHN CROSS

DIDIER DROGBA is ready to complete a remarkable U-turn and pledge the rest of his career to Chelsea.

Drogba's adviser Thierno Seydi says the Ivory Coast striker is willing to snub a host of big-money offers this summer.

It represents a major change of heart on the part of the 30-year-old striker who seemed certain to leave after falling out of favour with former boss Luiz Felipe Scolari.

But caretaker-manager Guus Hiddink has helped give Drogba a new lease of life and the player has reestablished himself as first-choice.

Inter Milan, with former Blues boss Jose Mourinho in charge, were leading the hunt for Drogba who has 15 months left on his pounds 100,000-a-week deal. But Seydi says they are prepared to sit down with Chelsea at the end of the season to discuss a new extension as Drogba (right) has never been happier at Stamford Bridge. The adviser said: "He is happy, 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."

Mourinho has criticised the Roman Abramovich era, saying: "Chelsea were a club with a lack of structure. It should be moulded to the philosophy of their coach's needs, and way of thinking."
