Didier Drogba joins Montreal Impact

Former Chelsea striker Didier Drogba has joined MLS side Montreal Impact.

The 37-year-old had been without a club after leaving Chelsea in May, but will now join his former teammate Frank Lampard in the American top flight.

"It's an honour to welcome Didier Drogba to the Impact," Montreal president Joey Saputo told the club's official website.

"From the first conversation I had with him, I felt that he really wanted to play in Montreal. This is one of the biggest days in club history and his arrival to the club will be beneficial in every aspect."

Drogba scored seven goals for Chelsea last season.
