Chelsea<\/a> striker Romelu Lukaku<\/a> insists that he is a different player to team-mate Didier Drogba<\/a> but says that the Ivorian has had a big influence on his career.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 18-year-old moved to the Blues in the summer, and whilst his first-team opportunities have been limited so far, he feels that his football has already improved due to the impact of Drogba.<\/p>\n

Lukaku told ChelseaTV<\/em>: \u201cI think I\u2019m a different style of player to what I was before. I think that people don\u2019t have to compare me that much Didier because he knows we have some differences in our game. He\u2019s influenced me a lot that\u2019s for sure.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the first week that I came here he [Drogba] didn\u2019t say a lot because I think he was watching the way I play. In the second week he was telling me all the mistakes that I\u2019d made in the game like my control of the ball and my shooting towards goal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lukaku also admits that he faces a tough challenge to break into the Chelsea starting XI in the future but is delighted to be at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cThere is more to achieve for sure. Being here is already one step but there are so many steps I want to make. I\u2019m very happy right now but I know I have to work very hard to become one of the main keys of the team in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Belgium international has made three appearances for Andre Villas-Boas\u2019 side so far this season but has yet to find the target.<\/p>\n

Lukaku added: \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter [who I score against] I want to score in each game. If I can score against Blackburn or against Manchester United or Arsenal I don\u2019t care. Scoring a goal is the same feeling in each game for me.\u201d<\/p>\n
