Pascal says in his lawsuit: "Even though the contract was not formally signed, Drogba explicitly accepted its terms.

"His behaviour trapped me in a maze of broken promises and negligence. It exhausted my finances, destroyed my reputation in the fashion industry, made investors go away and led me to the brink of ruin and bankruptcy."

Meanwhile, the former Chelsea star, who won Champions League title with the club in 2012 will hope the case is booted out when heard at Montreal's high court.

Drogba's lawyers responded: "The allegations are false and defamatory. We will take the appropriate measures.

"He has always respected his obligations, as though the two parties were tied by the agreement for him to be the brand's ambassador."
