But any Chelsea superfan desperate to literally follow in their hero’s footsteps will need to stump up £6.25million.

The owner can enjoy six spacious bedrooms and seven exquisite bathrooms on the enormous grand pad, which is gated with automatic gates at the front.

There are five reception rooms located below the elegant spiral staircase that runs through the middle of the property, and the large, open-concept kitchen features built-in equipment and is constructed of marble and wood.

To top it all off, the 11,000 square foot property includes an incredible recreational facility.

This features a sauna, a jacuzzi, and a sizable indoor pool with bifold doors that provide stunning views over the lovely lawned yard.

“On the ground floor, five primary reception rooms are centered around a grand reception hall with sweeping staircase leading to all floors,” reads the Fine & Country listing for Drogaba’s home.

“There is a large, open-concept kitchen with a central island for casual dining and modern built-in appliances, as well as a study and multipurpose reception room at the front. A stunning dual aspect drawing room with enormous proportions and a family room at the back lead to a charming high-roofed orangery.

Situated on just less than an acre of ground, the property is protected by automatic gates.

“A two-story, multi-vehicle garage with a large driveway that provides plenty of parking as well as a one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment that offers additional accommodations.”

“To the rear is a south-facing landscaped garden, with manicured lawns stretching out from a terrace area off the main house – a fabulous spot for relaxation and entertaining.”

The magnificent home is situated close to Chelsea’s Cobbham training facility in Oxshott, amid the opulent Crown Estate.

Nestled amidst lush woodland, it offers seclusion without sacrificing accessibility to major thoroughfares like the M25, A3, Gatwick, and Heathrow Airports, as well as some of the nation’s most esteemed educational institutions.

During his second spell at Chelsea, which ended in 2015, Drogba and his now-ex-wife Lalla Diakite resided in the residence.

Following their breakup in 2020, Drogba has chosen to list the property for sale.

The Ivorian is a legend at Stamford Bridge where he scored 164 goals in 381 games, lifting 12 major honours including four Premier Leagues and the Champions League in 2012.

After leaving the Blues for good, he had spells with Montreal Impact and Phoenix Rising but retired from his playing days in 2018.

Since then, he has poured plenty of his resources into his foundation supporting people in his homeland as well as stepping into some media work.

But he clearly keeps a keen interest on events back at Chelsea, where he is still revered as a legend.

He saw new owner Todd Boehly splash the most cash of all the Premier League teams this summer to land the likes of Wesley Fofana, Marc Cucurella, Raheem Sterling and Kalidou Koulibaly.

But it was the signing of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on deadline day that led to Drogba revealing how he had tried to convince the Gabon star to sign for the Blues long ago.

He tweeted: “Finally!!!!! Remember the time we spoke about it years ago. Happy for you brother.”
