In a shock move Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is reportedly chasing Chelsea striker Didier Drogba. Drogba is reportedly unhappy at falling behind Fernando Torres at the Blues and if as reported £30miliion man Neymar is to arrive as well Drogba will find himself with restricted playing time.
Having a year left on his contract and with the only reported interest coming from Arsenals north London rivals Tottenham and some minor interest from Turkey and Greece the gunners may seem an attractive proposition for the 32 year old.
Arsenal are apparently in the market for a tall and mobile forward and a move for Lille striker Gervinho seemed to be almost done according to the players current club and agent but Wenger has always been one to play his cards close to his chest in the transfer market. Drogba would be available for a nominal fee due to his contract situation and the only stumbling block may be his reported £150k a week wages.
Sources close to both clubs have claimed a deal may well have already been completed and will be officially announced on the 1st of July when the transfer window officially opens.
