Man City winger Roberts inspired by 'the Robben of Chelsea'

Manchester City winger Patrick Roberts admits he models his game on Bayern Munich star Arjen Robben.

Roberts, now on-loan with Celtic, says he's followed Robben since his time with Chelsea.

He told Goal: "Players like Robben have been working very hard during the years in training and that's why they are always at the highest level of football.

"Hopefully I can be just like Robben, but I have to improve my technique.

"I've always enjoyed his way of cutting in and shooting," Roberts continues, "I've been trying to strive to come in and shoot since he played like that at Chelsea and I am just a joke."
