Bayern Munich star Harry Kane may be a Tottenham Hotspur icon, but that has not stopped him from showing his appreciation for one Chelsea legend.
Harry Kane was recently asked to build his ultimate striker in an interview with ESPN.
The 30-year-old was tasked with combining attributes from eight different players to create his complete centre-forward.
One attribute was strength and Kane decided that he wanted Didier Drogba‘s for the No.9 he was asked to make.
The Ivorian was a real powerhouse back in his day, using his strength to hold off centre-halves before rolling them and making his way towards goal.
It is more than understandable, then, that Kane has chosen Drogba for strength.
Can Nicolas Jackson become Chelsea’s new Didier Drogba?
Right now, Nicolas Jackson is currently Chelsea‘s first-choice striker and he has not done too badly recently.

The 22-year-old managed to grab a goal against Manchester City just before the international break, while he also scored a hat-trick in the 4-1 win against Kane’s former side Tottenham prior to his last outing.
However, Jackson obviously has to do much, much more if he wants to get anywhere close to Drogba’s legacy, while he is also quite a different striker to what the Ivory Coast legend was.
Jackson really likes playing outside the box and dribbling at defenders, whereas Drogba was your more traditional centre-forward, back to goal, devastating in the box — though he was also a very technical striker.
All in all, there are not too many similarities between Jackson and Drogba. We do not see the Senegal international developing into the same kind of forward the Chelsea legend was, but the club still see him as someone with a bright future.
And if he keeps scoring against strong sides like City and Tottenham, then he very well could go on to have a successful career in west London.
