Huddersfield Town star Steve Mounie has expressed his desire to follow in the footsteps of Chelsea legend Didier Drogba.

Club record signing Mounie enjoyed a dream debut in the Premier League after scoring a brace in the Terriers' 3-0 triumph over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

And following his exploits, the 22-year-old has expressed his lofty aspirations of wanting to emulate his idol Drogba.

The Benin international said: "I will try and follow in his footsteps. What he did here is an inspiration to me. He is also African, like me, and we almost have the same story.

"He was born in Africa and came to France and then to England. He is a great player and man. I've never met him but maybe I will in the future.

"My idol is Drogba. Sometimes I just watch video clips of him, scoring goals over here. I have a similar style to him. I'm big like him. (Palace's Christian) Benteke as well, who is a great striker. I have to learn off them."
