Arsenal keeper Szczesny keen to model game on ... Bruce Grobbelaar!

Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny is ready to take lessons from Liverpool legend Bruce Grobbelaar!

The Gunners’ opinionated Pole gave fans heart palpitations by ­performing two Cruyff turns on Marseille forward Jordan Ayew during Tuesday’s Champions League draw – the sort of trick for which Liverpool keeper Grobbelaar was infamous.

But Szczesny, 21, said: “Of course I looked good on the ball – that’s why they called me the young Zinedine when I was five years old! You could see from the Marseille game that I’d like to have been an outfield player.

“Grobbelaar? I have heard of him. He can be my new role model. I’ll YouTube him.”
