Arsenal goalkeeper Runar Alex Runarsson says he's drawing inspiration from Emi Martinez.

The Iceland international arrived from Dijon to replace Martinez after his departure to Aston Villa.

Runarsson told Goal: "I read an interview with him a couple of days ago and he said he came in as the ninth-choice goalkeeper, but he worked his a*** off to become the first-choice at Arsenal after Leno's injury.

"Then, he makes a brilliant move to Aston Villa for £20m. That should inspire everyone, not just me.

"That's my plan: to work my a*** off, enjoy every minute of it and get as many games as possible."
