EPL: You lack class - Drogba slams new Chelsea owner Boehly

Didier Drogba has claimed his former club Chelsea 'lacks class' under new owner Todd Boehly.

Boehly led a consortium to buy the Premier League side from Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich earlier this year.

The 48-year-old has already splashed out over £250m on new players over the summer and then sacked Thomas Tuchel as manager after just seven games in the new season.

Boehly has, however, come under fire for suggesting the Premier League should launch a North vs South all-star game and also for sacking several members of Chelsea's backroom team, including their chief medical officer and physio in chief.

During his time at Stamford Bridge, Drogba enjoyed a good relationship with Abramovich and believes that is no longer the case.

"I knew this club with a certain class at the time of Roman Abramovich, but today I find that it is missing.

"It's very difficult for me to see how they got rid of some people, for example the physiotherapists, who had been there for a very long time. They should go back to the principles and the values ​​that they had," said Drogba at Canal+.
