Arsenal defender Calum Chambers says he is relishing the chance to playing against Didier Drogba during the Gunners tour of the United States.

The former Chelsea striker could face the Gunners in San Jose on July 29 after being named in the MLS All-Stars squad for a showpiece friendly against Arsene Wenger’s side, reports the Arsenal website.

‘It will be a good test playing against a player with such experience,’ Chambers said.

‘He is probably the player I’m looking forward to playing the most.

The 21-year-old believes that he will gain great experience going up against players of Drogba’s calibre.

‘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 said.

‘That for me will be a great experience to play against him.

‘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.’
