He quoted the post and wrote: "Oh Willyyyyyyyyyyyy haaaaaaaannnnnnnnn Come back home" - followed by a wink emoji and a blue heart.
Later, Drogba hit back at his own post with ten laughing-crying emojis, appearing to mock Arsenal supporters.

Gunners fans are happy to see Willian cancel his contract and join Corinthians, especially as it would save the club £20.5 million in wages.
The Brazil international with 70 caps posted a leaving message on Instagram after his departure was confirmed.
It read: "Throughout my career I've done everything to be the best that I can be - I've always wanted to win and I find it hard to accept not doing so," the 33-year-old wrote on Instagram.
Willian made 37 appearances for Arsenal during his one season with the club. He only scored one goal and provided seven assists in all competitions.
