DIDIER DROGBAS younger brother Joel is hoping to become a
Premiership star too. Drog Junior, 22, is on trial at League One
Orient and played 90 minutes for the Os reserves in the 0-0 draw
with Norwich on Tuesday. And after spells with Metz in France and
St Pauli in Germany, he hopes to copy 29-year-old Didiers success
at Chelsea.
Hitman Joel said: Ive always loved English football especially
Chelsea. Im absolutely overwhelmed by Didiers success because I
have the same goals. He gives me a lot of advice and he inspires
me because hes worked so hard to get to where he is.
I believe we are similar players, especially in our aerial
ability. Although he is better than me, hopefully my time will
come. I want to complete a season at Orient and become top
goalscorer, then eventually play in the Premiership. I enjoy
working with boss Martin Ling and the other coaches. I came here
because I wanted to play a more physical kind of game thats the
game I need to learn to become a better player.
Im very motivated and hopefully Ill prove myself.
