Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku has said that he does not want to be compared with former Chelsea star Didier Drogba.

According to Metro.co.uk, the 20-year-old Lukaku's impressive spell on loan at West Bromwich Albion last season, coupled with his physical stature, has seen him likened to the Galatasaray player and labelled as the 'new Drogba'.

However, the Belgian player insisted that he wants to make a name for himself in his own right despite any comparisons, saying that he is young and still can make his own way.

Lukaku further said that he would have to continue to work hard and make the best out of the opportunities that he gets, although he added that he would not put too much pressure on himself to score.

According to the report, Lukaku hit 17 goals for West Brom last term, in a loan spell, which saw him nominated for the PFA Young Player of the Year award, the report added.
