Wilfried Zaha has revealed Chelsea legend Didier Drogba convinced him to join Turkish club Galatasaray.
After months of speculation surrounding his future, Zaha’s move to Galatasaray was confirmed on Monday night, with the forward signing a three-year deal with the Turkish giants.
“Obviously this will be my first opportunity to be part of the Champions League, so my mindset is to come here and do my best, try and help the club win titles and get as far as possible,” the winger told Beanyman Sports.
“My message is when I put on the shirt I always give 100 per cent and I look forward to winning hopefully the league this season with all the fans.
“I’ve asked a few friends, I asked Patrick Van Aanholt who came here, I asked Drogba and he told me it was amazing. I just can’t wait to step in here and see it for myself.”
Drogba spent the 2013-14 season at Galatasaray before returning to Chelsea in the summer of 2014, having previously left the club after winning the 2012 Champions League.
