Chelsea striker Didier Drogba has reportedly handed in a transfer requestAccording to Caughtoffside.com, the 33-year-old is keen on a move to Tottenham this summer after becoming disillusioned at Stamford Bridge following the arrival of Fernando Torres last January.
As previously reported, the Ivory Coast international is also wanted by Turkish giants Galatasaray, while Serie A champions AC Milan have also shown interest in the former Marseille striker as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of next season's Champions League.
Blues owner Roman Abramovich is looking to lower the average age of his squad this summer, with the likes of Neymar and Sergio Aguero linked with the west London club.
Last month it was reported that Nicolas Anelka could also be offloaded by Chelsea, although it has always been thought that even if the France international was sold that Drogba could also leave if the club received a suitable offer.
Galatasaray were recently believed to be favourites to sign Drogba after lining up an offer worth a massive £5million a year in wages.
But according to Wednesday's report, the striker is keen on working with Spurs boss Harry Redknapp at White Hart Lane and a deal for less than £10million could be on the cards.
