Chelsea forward Salomon Kalou has revealed he would love
to play for the Blues' bitter rivals Arsenal.
The Ivory Coast youngster has been a near ever-present for the
Stamford Bridge side so far this season, scoring eight times, and
has been selected in both of, new coach, Guus Hiddink's first two
games in charge against Aston Villa and Juventus.
However, the 23-year-old has responded to reports that, Arsenal
boss, Arsene Wenger is interested in signing him by saying he it
would be an honour to line up for the Gunners, and that he will
consider his future at the end of the season.
“Wenger said he thought of signing me? That’s an honour for me,
an honour," he said.
“He is a very great coach and I know that every single player in
the world dreams of playing for him. I have a lot of respect for
him, he is one of the best coaches in the world so why not?
“I am still under contract with Chelsea but of course I have plenty
of friends who play for Arsenal in Kolo Toure, Emmanuel Eboue and
Emmanuel Adebayor.
“They are achieving huge things at Arsenal and watching them play
is just beautiful.
“You are never guaranteed to be in the Chelsea starting XI.
Every single player fights to earn his place, including me, and the
coach is the one that has the final word.
“At the present time I’m happy at Chelsea and I hope that the
things that I want to happen will happen. I will think of my future
once the season is over."
