Calum Chambers relishing Didier Drogba test

Young Arsenal defender Calum Chambers admits that he is looking forward to coming up against Didier Drogba in a pre-season friendly.

Arsenal defender Calum Chambers has admitted that he is excited at the prospect of coming up against Chelsea legend Didier Drogba next week.

The striker, who has a record of 15 goals in 15 games against Arsenal in a Chelsea shirt, forms part of an MLS All-Star side that will take on Arsene Wenger's Gunners in a pre-season fixture in California on July 28.

Chambers dropped down the pecking order at the Emirates last term but is hoping to use the game as an opportunity to prove his worth to Wenger.

"It will be a good test playing against a player with such experience. [Drogba] is probably the player I'm looking forward to playing the most," Chambers told Arsenal Player.

"He just always scores important goals. The way he plays, obviously he is strong and is a big character. To match up with players like that is what you want to do and who you want to play against.

"He was always in the right place at the right time and the way he plays, he's got a great finish on him as well and he is strong. He has the whole package which makes him such a handful."

Drogba currently plies his trade with Eastern Conference side Montreal Impact.
