Arsenal signing Joel Ideho: Wilfried Zaha my inspiration

Former Ajax winger Joel Ideho is delighted with his move to Arsenal.

Ideho has revealed he models his game on long-time Gunners target Wilfried Zaha.

The 17-year-old signed from Ajax last week and will join the development squads in north London.

Speaking about the move, he said: "Arsenal had a strong and better plan for me than the other clubs and I personally think I will develop better at Arsenal than the other clubs.

"I would say that my game is inspired by Wilfried Zaha from Crystal Palace because he's a creative player with fast pace.

"My strengths would be my pace and my actions one-v-one."
