Drogba mocks Arsenal with FA Cup final tweet

Didier Drogba

Chelsea legend, Didier Drogba, who is now player-owner with US team Phoenix Rising, has joked that he would return to the Blues to play against Arsenal one last time.

Arsenal will play Chelsea in the FA Cup final after a 2-1 win over Manchester City after extra-time on Sunday.

That prompted the 39-year-old, who tortured Arsenal across two spells at Stamford Bridge, to tweet that he will be off on a two-day loan to line up against Arsene Wenger’s men on May 27.

Drogba, Chelsea’s fourth all-time top scorer with 164 goals, scored a massive 16 goals in 16 matches against Arsenal – and was on the losing side just once.

He scored twice in the League Cup final in 2007 and another in the FA Cup semi-final in 2009, as well as eight in the Premier League.

The striker even scored two while at Galatasaray in the Emirates Cup and one for the MLS All-Stars in a friendly.

Chelsea manager, Antonio Conte, is hoping to make it a Premier League and FA Cup double in his first season in England while embattled Wenger targets his seventh win of the oldest association football competition in the world.
