Drogba jokes about return to Chelsea ahead of FA Cup final vs. Arsenal
Didier Drogba had a bit of fun at Arsenal's expense after the north London side beat Manchester City on Sunday to set up a date with Chelsea in the FA Cup final in May.
Shortly after Arsenal secured a 2-1 victory, Drogba - who recently joined United Soccer League club Phoenix Rising as a player-owner - joked about a brief loan spell with Chelsea in order to extend his phenomenal scoring record against the Gunners.
Dear @PHXRisingFC I'll be off on loan with @ChelseaFC for two days 26/27th of May, just to make it 17/17 against #afc #IswearIBeBack #banter

Luckily for Arsenal fans, the 39-year-old won't suit-up for Chelsea, where he tortured Arsene Wenger's side by scoring 16 goals in 16 matches, and was only on the losing end once during his illustrious career with the Blues.
