West Ham striker Sakho: Why I chose No15...

West Ham United striker Diafra Sakho admits he draws inspiration from Chelsea icon Didier Drogba.

The Senegalese forward is on fire with five goals in his last five games since his £4.5million move from Metz in the summer.

"It's because of him that I wanted to have the No 15 at West Ham," Sakho said, referencing Drogba's old shirt number at Chelsea.

"I like how he plays and the way he plays. I think the game in England needs people like Didier Drogba and I take him as my example."
