Lukaku explains why he failed in the Premier League. What's Drogba got to do with it?

Napoli forward Romelu Lukaku has explained why he wasn't able to fully thrive in the Premier League the way he has in Serie A.

Details: According to the Belgian striker, his strengths were not properly utilized in England, as he was often labeled the “new Didier Drogba.”

Quote: "In England, they wanted to put me in the penalty box. They see someone with my physique and think, ‘the new Drogba.’ But I’m not like that. Didier played more with his back to goal, he could hold the ball no matter where you played it to him. That wasn’t my style," said Lukaku.

Reminder: Lukaku played in England for clubs like Chelsea, Manchester United, and Everton, and was also loaned to West Bromwich.
