Considered by many to be among Chelsea’s finest players, Drogba scored 164 goals in 381 games throughout two different stints with the team. Along with four FA Cups, three League Cups, and the Champions League, he won the Premier League four times.
Even though the Ivorian’s second tenure at Stamford Bridge ended in 2015, he still owns a home on Oxshott’s prestigious Crown Estate, which is near Chelsea’s Cobham training facility.
However, the 44-year-old is now selling the house, which has a large swimming pool, a recreational complex, five reception rooms, six bedrooms, and seven bathrooms.

The property was shared by Drogba and his Malian spouse, Lalla Diakite, whom he divorced in 2020.
In a brief statement at the time, the former striker added, “We are still very close, and our main focus has been our children and protecting them and the family’s privacy.”
The couple has three kids, including 21-year-old Isaac, who played for Guingamp’s reserve club in the French second division and briefly attended Chelsea’s academy.
The upscale estate is near some of Surrey’s top schools and is encircled by wide fields and woodland.
The mansion, which is situated on a little less than one acre of ground near Oxshott, has seven baths.

The striker won three League Cups, four FA Cups, the Champions League, and the Premier League four times.
With 65 goals in 105 caps, Drogba is the Ivory Coast’s all-time leading scorer. He originally came to England in 2004 when Chelsea paid £24 million to acquire him from Marseille.
In his first two seasons, he helped the Blues win back-to-back Premier League titles. He stayed until 2012, when he scored the game-winning penalty in the Champions League final against Bayern Munich.
After stints in China and Turkey, Drogba rejoined Chelsea for a last season in 2014, helping them to another league championship. A stint in the USA marked the end of his playing career.
