Barcelona still keen on Drogba and Adebayor

25/07/2008

Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola has claimed the Spanish team are still interested in signing Chelsea and Arsenal strikers Didier Drogba and Emmanuel Adebayor.

Speaking after his team's 6-0 defeat of Hibernian, Guardiola said:" Barcelona are always interested in good players."

"Those players [Drogba and Adebayor] are interesting but so are many others in England, Italy and Germany. You would be better to speak to the sporting director [Txiki Begiristain] about the exact situation."

Barcelona are understood to be in the market for a striker with Samuel Eto'o thought to be surplus to requirements.

The Spanish giants have been considerably busy in the summer transfer window, brining in Daniel Alves, Gerard Pique and former Arsenal midfielder Alexander Hleb, as well as selling Brazilian star Ronaldinho to AC Milan.
