The Ivorian said he would have stayed with the club had they not won the European club trophy.
"I would have stayed if we hadn't won the Champions League. That was my challenge, what I wanted to achieve. The Boss (Chelseaowner RomanAbramovich) gave so much for this club.
"Everybody speaks about buying expensive players, but nobody speaks about the facilities at Cobham. We have one of the best in the world. He (Abramovich) is really trying to develop this club, not that it wasn't a big, ambitious club before. But as players, we always try to improve, try to do this for the club.
According to sources he may join his previous team mates Anelka in a Chinese club and hope his arrival in Asia can help Asia to boost Football

Goal Line technology will be used in the Premier League next season, a report has confirmed.
The technology by Hawk-eye is being tested at the Hampshire Senior Cup final on Wednesday night while FIFA are expected to give it the go-ahead in July.
The system is unlikely to be ready when the Premier League kicks off in August, but Chief Executive Richard Scudamore has expressed desire to bring it in midway through the season.
"When we are ready to go, we can go with it. The law is not changing - that is still about whether the ball has gone over the line or not. We have never introduced a rule change mid-season, but there is no change of rule," the Daily Mirror quoted Scudamore, as saying.
Although he previously said that the technology will be introduced from the start, but in the light of the recent 'ghost goal' by Juan Mata for Chelsea in their FA Cup semi-final win over Tottenham has called for the technology to be given a green light.
