Tammy Abraham scored his first goals for Chelsea at Stamford Bridge against Sheffield United before the international break, but he has a long way to go if he wants to emulate Didier Drogba's achievements in west London.
Drogba scored more goals for Chelsea than any other foreign player and is currently the club’s fourth highest scorer of all time.
The Ivorian striker joined the west Londoners for a club record £24million, making him the most expensive player from his country in history.
In his debut season he helped Chelsea to win their first league title in 50 years, and lifted four titles, four FA Cups, three League Cups and scored the winning penalty in the 2012 Champions League Final.
And Abraham revealed that Drogba is his childhood hero.
Speaking to The Mirror , the 21-year-old Chelsea academy graduate said: “I have so many stories from when I was younger watching him, growing up watching such a talented striker.
"I've always wanted to be like him, always hungry to score goals. Just looking at him he had that appearance about him. And I've always wanted to add that to my game.
"So to follow in his footsteps [as the club’s main striker] is always nice.”
Drogba posted a picture of Abraham's interview with the newspaper on his Instagram story, with the caption: 'God bless you son', which the England forward then re-shared on his account with a blue heart emoji.
