Crespo exits, Drogba waits

CHELSEA'S Argentina striker Hernan Crespo has sealed a season-long loan move to Italian champions AC Milan, clearing the way for the Blues to start a price-war in their bid to buy Marseilles' Didier Drogba.

Reports claim Chelsea have agreed a £24million valuation with the French club over Ivory Coast striker Drogba.

But there is still no confirmation from Stamford Bridge, where new coach Jose Mourinho has three strikers in Eidur Gudjohnsen, Adrian Mutu and latest arrival Mateja Kezman from PSV Eindhoven.
