Didier Drogba has announced his intention to leave Chelsea and William Hill are betting on who will start Chelsea’s first game of next season.

William Hill make Fernando Torres 1/2 to fill the Drogba shaped hole on Chelsea’s front line, while other names thrown into the mix are Romelu Lukaku (11/4), Hulk (4/1), Radamel Falcao, Edinson Cavani (both 6/1), Fernando Llorente (12/1) and Ezequiel Lavezzi (14/1).

Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly told Bettingpro.com: “Drogba has been the big-Drog at Chelsea for the last eight years and whoever fills the gap has very big boots to fill and although Torres has struggled since moving to Chelsea, the odds suggest that he will be taking up the reins.”

To start for Chelsea first game of 2012/2013 PL Season
