Chelsea legend, Didier Drogba has paid tribute to his 'hero' Petr Cech after the Arsenal goalkeeper confirmed his intention to retire at the end of the season.

Cech, alongside the Ivorian international, are considered Chelsea legends due to their immense contributions for the Stamford Bridge outfit.

The pair contributed immensely on the road to lift the first Champions League title in 2012 after they defeated Bayern Munich in an epic final.

The Czech’s - who turns 37 later this year - decision to hang his gloves have come at the back of losing his starting berth at the Emirates to German goalie Bernd Leno.

His move has been well received by his former Ivorian teammate, who took to Instagram to sing his praises.

"I would need millions of words to describe you, your good heart, your professionalisms and winning mentality but one picture summarises it all," Drogba wrote on Instagram.

"Thank you, my hero, Petr Cech for having golden hands and heart. Man saved three penalties and run into me like I’m a legend.

"What a career you’re gonna end in few months. Love to the family."
