Miguel Azeez explains why Arsenal legend and Barcelona man are his idols

Arsenal hopeful Miguel Azeez has told Guillem Balague – – that Sergio Busquets is his idol and he hopes to emulate Patrick Vieira.

The꧃ 17-year-old has been a regular in the under-18 ranks this season, whilst he’s also played twice for the under-2꧙3 team.

The English performer clearly sets his standards high and in an intervi🅘ew with Ballague mentioned his idol and the player who he models his game around.

: “One of my idols is Sergio Busquets. I think he has been the best holding midfielder for a very long time. He always seems to have space around him, always plays with his head up,ও one step ahead.

“For me, I l🍸ike to put some of his game into mine.

“When pla🤡yers run at 100mph they can’t really look at what is going on and sometim🀅es you need to play with a bit of composure. I always thought Patrick Vieira was good in that position too.”

Azeez will hope to continue performing w🐼ell for the Gunners’ youth ranks with the intention of making the first-team grade.

He’s certainly at the right💝 place for his development with Arsenal boasting a proud history whꦚen it comes to young talent.

Matteo Guendouzi has seemingly been banished from the first-team and Lucas Torreira and Granit Xhak꧙a have proved inconsistent performers😼.

All Azeez can do is keep his head down and continue to shine for th𝄹e development ranks.

If he can do that he stands every chance of emulating former Gu♈nners hero Vieira.
