Chelsea icon Lampard: I need to say something about Didier...

Departing Manchester City midfielder Frank Lampard has paid tribute to former Chelsea teammate Didier Drogba.

Drogba is leaving Chelsea after this season's Blues swansong.

Lampard posted on Instagram:

I need to talk about my mate @didierdrogba. Without him I wouldn't have enjoyed the personal success I had at Chelsea but also the club would not have leagues and Champions leagues titles to their name. He ALWAYS produced in the big games. He was a monster in the dressing room and a great friend away from football. It was an honour to have played with him and I wish him well in whatever his next move is. I know he still has lots to give. Thank you Didi! #legend
