Chelsea striker João Pedro has been making headlines for his incredible debut season, which has led fans and pundits to compare him to Chelsea legend Didier Drogba.
The Brazilian has been hailed as the beast that Chelsea has been searching for, with notable impact in both the Premier League and the Champions League.
While fans are thrilled, Pedro in a chat with TNT Sports, has expressed a desire to stay humble and has indicated that he should not be immediately compared to a legend like Drogba.

“Drogba is an idol at Chelsea. Some fans joke: ‘Maybe we found the new Drogba?’ But I try to go my own way, slowly, without thinking too much about that.
“Since I arrived at Chelsea, I made it very clear because at Watford I played as a No.10, as a No.9. At Brighton too. But since coming here, it’s something I pushed for a lot – I wanted to play only as a No.9,” Pedro told TNT Sports and Lance.
“Today, I really like Kane and Lewandowski. I followed Kane more because of the Premier League and I take a lot of inspiration from him.”
