DROGBA WANTS TO MOVE TO BARCA - TOURE
Didier Drogba has been dropped in it by Ivorian team-mate Yaya Toure, who has revealed how keen the Chelsea striker has been to quit London for Barcelona.
Toure, brother of Arsenal defender Kolo, insists that Drogba has been in regular contact with him about a move to Barcelona for the past year.
Drogba's future at Chelsea striker has long been in question, especially since Jose Mourinho left the club last year.
But just as the speculation was slowing down Toure has revealed: "I have not spoken to Drogba for a couple of weeks, but when we have talked in the past year he has always told me that he wants to come to Barca."
That could lead to an all-African strike force with Cameroon forward Samuel Eto'o, who is being targeted by a number of Premier League clubs.
Toure added: "Eto'o is a good person with a great character, who works and helps very much. We all want him to stay with us. If he remains, we will have a good campaign.
"Eto'o is in a very difficult situation because it is not easy to have four or five years at a club and then to leave the team.
"But he is a very positive person. In Scotland he played two pre-season matches and demonstrated a very positive mentality."
