Didier Drogba has
enjoyed a stellar career in England, France, Turkey and China but he appeared
to be taken aback by the welcome he received in Montreal on
Wednesday.
Hundreds of fans turned
up at Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport to greet the Ivorian star
after he agreed to join MLS side Montreal Impact.
The 37-year-old left
Chelsea this summer after playing 381 games for the Blues and winning four
Premier League titles across two spells with the London club.
Drogba, who was released by the west London side at the end of the season, will officially join the Canadian club when he receives his Canadian work permit.
The MLS side are
currently sixth in the Eastern Conference and took to Twitter to confirm the
news on Monday night.
Impact President, Joey
Saputo, told the club's official website: It's an honour to welcome Didier
Drogba to the Impact. From the first conversation I had with him, I felt that
he really wanted to play in Montreal.
