Chelsea legend Didier Drogba has been given the all-clear to sign for Galatasaray.

Drogba will be able to fully concentrate on his Champions League return for new club Galatasaray next week after FIFA dismissed Shanghai Shenhua's protests over his transfer.

The London Evening Standard says FIFA have thrown out their objection and confirmed that the Ivory Coast international is now a Galatasaray player.

Drogba, who scored the decisive penalty for Chelsea to win the shoot-out against Bayern Munich in the Champions League Final last season, will be hoping to play in Galatasaray's last-16 tie against Schalke next week.
