Former Chelsea forward\u00a0Didier Drogba’s 17-year-old son Isaac has joined French Ligue 1 club Guingamp.<\/p>\n
Isaac Drogba, who – like his father – plays as a striker, has previously played for Chelsea’s academy.<\/p>\n
He joins Guingamp 16 years after his father signed for the club in an \u00a380,000 move from Le Mans.<\/p>\n
Didier Drogba, who scored 24 goals in 50 appearances for Guingamp, posted on Instagram: “Couldn’t be more proud of you Isaac Drogba.”<\/p>\n
Two of his former Chelsea team-mates were among those to reply.<\/p>\n
Frank Lampard wrote: “Congratulations! I remember Isaac as the small polite boy! Now a man!”<\/p>\n
And ex-Blues captain John Terry wrote: “Can’t believe how big he is mate, congratulations.”<\/p>\n
Didier Drogba spent less than two seasons at Guingamp’s Stade de Roudourou before signing for Marseille, where he spent a year before joining Chelsea in 2004.<\/p>\n
He went on to win the Premier League four times, the FA Cup four times and the Champions League, as well as playing 104 times for the Ivory Coast.<\/p>\n
In an interview in 2015 he said his son, who was born in France, wanted to\u00a0play for England.<\/p>\n
