Golden Eaglets star Victor Osimhen has voiced his admiration for Didier Drogba, stating the former Ivory Coast international is his role model and is hoping to follow in the footsteps of the ex Chelsea star by scoring goals for club and country.

Osimhen has put himself in the shop window at the ongoing Fifa Under 17 World Cup, having registered 4 goals from 3 matches in the group stage and it is believed a number of teams in Europe are tracking him in Chile.

“Didier Drogba is my role model. He represents the kind of player and person I’d like to be,” Osimhen told fifa.com.

“I hope to develop the same ability to use the ball and score important goals. He’s an icon, a legend. I’d love to be able to play like him – or even better.”
