"The 22-year-old has now reached 10 goals in 12 games since Rosenior took over from Enzo Maresca in January, adding five assists during that stretch."
"Drogba was brought in from Marseille back in 2004 by Jose Mourinho, who spent around £24 million on the striker. That move came just two years after Roman Abramovich took control of the club."
"Drogba scored 16 goals and provided eight assists across all competitions in his debut season at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea lifted the Premier League trophy for the first time."
João Pedro has impressed significantly for Chelsea under manager Liam Rosenior, scoring a hat-trick against Aston Villa and reaching 10 goals in 12 games with five assists since January. The 22-year-old's performance is being compared to Didier Drogba's first season at Chelsea in 2004. Drogba, signed by José Mourinho from Marseille for approximately £24 million, scored 16 goals and provided eight assists across all competitions in his debut campaign, helping Chelsea win the Premier League. Both players have made substantial impacts in their respective first seasons, though Chelsea currently sits outside the title race and aims for a top-four finish.
