Chelsea star Didier Drogba has revealed he has opened contract talks with the club about a new deal.
The Ivorian's current deal is set to expire next summer and he is yet to commit his future to the club past that point.
Drogba, who is currently recovering from arm surgery, is thought to be holding out for a two-year deal while the club would prefer a 12-month extension.
The 33-year-old's future at Chelsea was the subject of speculation in the summer with Fernando Torres
seen as first-choice striker and the arrival of Romelu Lukaku from Anderlecht, along with Daniel Sturridge returning to Stamford Bridge from his loan spell at Bolton, increasing competition for places.

However, Drogba is not worried about the competition for places in Andre Villas-Boas' side and is ready to prove he deserves a new contract.
"Talks have started," Drogba told L'Equipe. "Everyone knows what I want.
"I am not afraid of the competition. I always had to face it here with Gudjohnsen and then Shevchenko."
