The free transfer from Fulham says he used to study the Chelsea legend's game whe growing up.
"I take aspects of their games into my own. Like John Terry’s leadership and how aggressive he played," he told chelseafc.com.
"Also Christensen, for example, and how well he can play on the ball. Players like that I really like to take bits from their game and bring to my own.
"But there’s a lot of players that I looked up to. Ronaldo, Zidane and also Lampard and Drogba. They were inspirational players and players that did crazy things for this football club and for football in general.
"I loved their aura. And they were big-moment players. They always step up and perform on the big stage, which is what I’m here to do."
He added, "To be here now. Striving for that is what it’s all about.
"The Champions League has always been the one for me. That’s the one I’m striving for, that’s the one this club is going to be striving for, so that’s the one we all have to push for eventually."
