Manchester City-owned Celtic winger Patrick Roberts seems to be a fan of Bayern Munich star Arjen Robben.
Robben is one of the best wingers on the planet and is a world-class player, having been hugely successful whenever he has gone.
Now 33 years of age, the Netherlands international has actually become better with age.
The former Groningen winger won league titles with PSV, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
Robben was also a key figure in Bayern lifting the Champions League trophy during the 2012-13 season.
Roberts, who joined Celtic from Manchester City on a season-long loan deal in the summer transfer window, has spoken highly of the Dutchman.
The 20-year-old former Fulham youngster has suggested that he wants to score goals as regularly as Robben does.
Interestingly, the Dutchman worked with current City manager Pep Guardiola at German and European giants Bayern between 2013 and 2016.
“Arjen Robben’s got that technical ability to cut in and put it in the top corner which I try and work on – obviously not to the level that he does – but I will keep working on improving and one day I’ll get there and score goals as routinely as that,” Robben told The Glasgow Evening Times.
“I’m sure any winger will tell you about the art of how he has done that. Throughout his years of playing at Chelsea, Madrid and Bayern Munich he’s worked at perfecting his style of play, and with him being older now, it just comes naturally to him. Hopefully as I go on, I’ll learn that skill.”
