Lyon declare interest for Chelsea's Drogba


Lyon have declared interest in Chelsea striker Didier Drogba.

Former Liverpool boss Gerard Houllier missed out on 28-year-old Drogba two seasons ago but is now confident of landing the unhappy Blues ace for a knockdown fee.
Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas admitted: "We made a previous approach for Drogba two years ago and the deal was virtually done.
"Besides, there are certain elements that give me hope that we can bring him over for next season."
Even though Drogba has scored 14 goals this season, the hitman has even been taking stick from his own fans after admitting he dives.
And he recently voiced concerns over some of Jose Mourinho's signings.
His uncle Michel Goba said: "I believe Didier could leave if he keeps hearing whistling from Chelsea fans.
"It wouldn't surprise me if he looked elsewhere."
