Chelsea star linked with £25 million switch to Gunners

According to today's Times, Chelsea striker Didier Drogba has decided to leave the club and he could be the subject of a £25 million bid for London rivals Arsenal.

Drogba has outlined his plans to quit Chelsea in the summer and there have been many rumours about his future, with sides like Real Madrid and AC Milan linked with the Ivorian striker.

Arsene Wenger is said to be a big fan of the 29-year old and although he rarely spends big, Wenger may yet splash the cash on Drogba, although personally I feel it's unlikely.

I think, although Drogba is a terrific player that scores loads of goals, he may be a bit old to be spending £25 million on. I feel Wenger will look to Lyon star Karim Benzema and spend £16 or so million on him instead and in my mind that would be a terrific move for the Gunners.
