Major League Soccer team Montreal Impact have announced the signing of Didier Drogba.

The Chelsea legend's contract with the Premier League club ended last month and it was thought he was due to sign for Chicago Fire.

He will link up with former West Ham midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker at the Canadian team.

The veteran forward will join the likes of Andrea Pirlo, David Villa, Steven Gerrard and former Chelsea team-mate Frank Lampard in moving to the MLS.
