There
was much speculation that Drogba could do the unthinkable and don an
Arsenal shirt until Arsene Wenger distanced himself from a move for the
Ivory Coast forward.
Judging by the reaction of Chelsea
and Arsenal fans to the news that Drogba has re-signed a one-year deal
with Jose Mourinho's side, it is probably for the best that he is back
at the Bridge two years after he departed.
For Chelsea fans, it
gives Drogba the chance to add to his incredible tally against their
club's fierce rivals. He scored 15 goals in 15 games against Arsenal in
his first period at the club.
Not that Arsenal fans will be running scared of
Drogba. As the news emerged that Drogba had re-signed for Chelsea, some
Gunners were busy making the point that he is just a poor man's Thierry Henry.
Arsenal
come across the French forward in a pre-season friendly with New York
Red Bulls on their pre-season tour of the US on Saturday. Like Drogba, he is a legend in red and white.
It will be interesting to see what happens if Drogba lines up against Arsenal on October 5. It is already interesting.
