The Gunners have offered £6million for the 28-year-old Ivory Coast striker - but the Blues are insisting on £8m.
Emirates boss Arsene Wenger is ready to double his weekly wage to £60,000 and has offered him a five-year contract. Kalou rocked Chelsea in February when he said it would be an honour to play for Wenger.
Kalou said: "He is a very great coach and I know that every single player in the world dreams of playing for him. "I have a lot of respect for him, he is one of the best coaches in the world.
"Arsenal are achieving huge things and watching them play is beautiful."
Chelsea are confident they will complete the signing of £20million-rated AC Milan skipper Andrea Pirlo by next weekend.
Chelsea have had a bid of £14m plus Claudio Pizarro rejected. But Pirlo has told AC he wants to follow Carlo Ancelotti to Stamford Bridge.
8m for kalou good deal ![]()
I don;t know if he will go since di Santo has left for loan.
That means Chelsea are left with Sturridge, Anelka, Drogba.
dont forget shevchenko
Lol he so old liao arh... tot he 23-25 nia.
go ahead and sign
he is 23/25, not 28....
knn these days all the newspaper articles report all buey zhun one. he where got 28 lol.
I hate it when newspaper article quoted sources said. favourite pet phrase used by the media. speculation say speculation la, say sources said knn.
chelsea should hold out for 15m. considering he got the potential, and randomly scores freak goals for chelsea
he 24 nia lah. born in 5th Aug 1985
Kalou has said before he wants to play for Wenger / Arsenal recently when Wenger show interest in him... Its possible that he feels he has a better chance of playing at Arsenal than at Chelsea. Chelsea will have to sell as Kalou only left 1 yr to his contract and don't wish to sign a new one... Thats why Chelsea can't get too much for him.
