Arsenal icon Thierry Henry has placed a wager with former Chelsea forward Didier Drogba regarding the Premier League clean sheet record.
Chelsea currently holds the record, having allowed only 15 goals during the 2004/2005 season.
The Gunners have only conceded five goals in 11 league matches this season, putting them in a position to potentially break the record.
Only three other teams have come close: Chelsea allowed 22 goals in the 2005/2006 season, while Manchester United in 2007/2008 and Liverpool in 2018/2019 matched that total.
Drogba promised to don Henry’s Arsenal hat and jersey if Arsenal concedes fewer than 15 goals this season.
“Alright, let's make it happen,” Henry responded to Drogba.
“If Arsenal surpasses Chelsea's record for fewest goals conceded, then you will wear the hat.”
Drogba shook Henry’s hand and declared, “I will wear the hat, and I will wear the jersey, number 14.”
