Arsenal have no hope of challenging Manchester United and Chelsea
next season for the English Premiership title after the sale of
Thierry Henry, Didier Drogba said.
Arsenal sold Henry earlier in the week to Barcelona for 16 million
pounds and now Ivory Coast forward Drogba says that has played into
the hands of champions United and his own Chelsea team.
Drogba said, "The exit of Henry to Barcelona is good news for us -
it means that there is one less rival in Chelsea's way."
"And Arsenal have a serious problem because Henry's absence is a
very complicated issue to resolve."
"For us this one rare change means it will be Chelsea and United
fighting for the Premiership again."
Drogba scored the winner in last season's FA Cup final victory over
United but despite finishing as the league's top goalscorer, he
could not lead his side to the title ahead of United.
With Henry injured for much of the season, Arsenal struggled and
finished more than 20 points off the pace.
Drogba has since been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge
with European champions AC Milan reportedly interested in signing
him.
"Milan? What a good club, they are the champions of Europe. But I
have spoken to nobody," he said.
"I only know what I read in the press but there is no problem with
my contract with Chelsea. My deal is clear and no bother to
me."
