After a slow start to his career at Stamford Bridge following a £24million move from Marseille, the Ivorian was arguably the Blues best player last term as he blasted 21 goals in the Barclays Premier League.

But he said in The Sun: "If I think the club lacks ambition, then it is sure I will not stay too long. I'm 29 and I don't have much time to lose."

Drogba added: "I'm at the last big turning point of my career.

"It's time for one final big choice -- should I stay or should I go? I am tempted to discover another world and to see what footballing life is like outside England.

"It would be a big disappointment if I never manage to play for teams that I dream of playing for. That would be terribly frustrating.

"Spain and Italy attract me a lot and, although I am a long way from saying farewell to Chelsea, you never know what can happen."
