The Nigerian striker played down the rivalry claim many feel the ex-Chelsea star would bring, insisting that he wants to emulate his goalscoring feat

Franklin Sasere has opened up on the kind of relationship he wants to build with Demba Ba, revealing he wants to learn from him instead of seeing him as a rival.
