Drogba coy over future after title triumph

Didier Drogba offered no assurances over his future after Chelsea clinched the Premier League title with a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace.

A 45th-minute goal from Eden Hazard on Sunday was enough to seal a victory that saw Chelsea claim the Premier League for a fourth time.

Drogba, who rejoined the club for a second stint in July 2014, has been involved in each of those successes.

Yet the 37-year-old has had to be content with a limited role this term, in stark contrast to Chelsea s previous title-winning campaign, in 2009-10, when the Ivorian scored 37 goals in all competitions.

Drogba told Sky Sports: This one is sweet. I am happy to be part of this, but Chelsea will always be bigger than me.

What now? A good rest, a good celebration and I will see.

Attacking midfielder Eden Hazard has been the star of this season for Chelsea, with the Belgium international winning the PFA Player of the Year award.

Jose Mourinho s side have been labelled as boring by rival fans in recent weeks, but Hazard said: We deserve to be champions. We are 13 points in front, we won the [League] Cup, now we won the league and everyone is happy.

He [Mourinho] lets me play, I can play my best football on pitch and that is most important. The team needs a player like me, Willian, Diego [Costa]. We are here to score.

The title marks a first league success in England for former Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas, who commented: I waited a very long time for this. [It is] very relieving, [we ve] been fighting for this and I am very proud.
