Arsenal whiz Gedion Zelalem: I'll be better for Galatasaray experience

Arsenal whizkid Gedion Zelalem feels he'll be better for his appearance in victory over Champions League opponents Galatasaray.

Zelalem helped Arsenal to a 4-1 win and he described the experience as "fantastic".

The teenage midfielder said: "He [Sneijder] has won the Champions League, so to be able to play against him was very good.

"He's a top player and hopefully I can win the Champions League as well one day.

"I can learn from the way he switches the ball, his quick feet and things like that. All your life you work for this moment, so to be able to play was very good. You dream of that as a boy - coming on in the Champions League.

"I was watching it last year and now I'm playing in it, so it's great.

"Everyone knows that it's a special competition and everyone wants to win it.

"Being able to play in it is very good for me and hopefully I can do that in the future."
