Didier Drogba, a legend of Chelsea, has sent Mason Mount his best wishes on his transfer to Manchester United.

While the player's transfer marked the end of his 18-year relationship with the Blues, Drogba referred to Mount in his letter as the "prince" of Chelsea.

"Another prince leaving the club of his life. Thank you and all the very best to you, champs" he said as quoted by oneofourowncfc.

Mount joins Ruben Loftus-Cheek on the list of academy graduates who have departed the club this summer.

He joined the Red Devils for a transfer fee of £55 million and £5 million add-ons. He has signed a contract running until June 2028, with the option of a further year.
