Drogba signed for Shanghai Shenhua from Chelsea this summer and says he is enjoying life there.

"I wanted to experience another culture, another world," he told Le Sport 10.

"This experience is unlike anything I have known, you look around and it is skyscrapers galore - but also not too far away most of the population is farmers.

"Playing in China is very rewarding and I enjoy it - even if it is different to London, where my children remain and that means I have to stay up late [to talk to them]."
