Chelsea striker Havertz delighted with Drogba comparison

Chelsea forward Kai Havertz does not have any issues being compared to Didier Drogba.

While Havertz is a different style player to Drogba, with the latter more of a target man, he has a knack for popping up with big goals.

He is the man Chelsea can count on in the big occasions, which was also the case for their legendary Ivorian centre-forward Drogba.

Asked about the comparison, Havertz told the club's website: "It is good when being compared to players that have played well in the past.

"It definitely feels good when the fans or people compare you to such a player.

"He has scored even more important goals than me.

"So, in the next few years, I'll try to get there so that I fully deserve that comparison."
