Didier Drogba is hoping for a fresh start at Shanghai Shenhua next season after enduring an arduous first five months in China.

The 34-year-old striker brought to an end a successful eight-year spell at Chelsea in the off-season when he made the switch to the Chinese Super League club.
However, Shenhua went through a difficult patch after his arrival, seeing three different managers at the helm, while being plagued by rumours that owner Zhu Jun could withdraw his funding.
Drogba still managed an impressive eight goals in 11 appearances, although it was not enough to improve the club's fortunes as they finished the campaign in mid-table.
The Ivory Coast star, though, remains fully committed to the cause and is determined to help turn things around in Shanghai come February.
"Because I joined Shenhua relatively late, I didn't prepare with the team early in the season, so our results this year were not very good," he said, as quoted by the Shanghai Morning Post.
"But I hope next season I can start again from the beginning with Shenhua."
