Schalke defender Ozan Kabak admits he models his game on Virgil van Dijk.

Kabak has been watched by Arsenal this season.

And the youngster admits he's a fan of the Premier League - and particularly Liverpool defender Van Dijk.

He told Bundesliga.com: “My personal aim is to become a top defender in maybe two or three years, like Virgil van Dijk. He's my idol, I really like him."

Asked what he admires most about the Ballon d'Or nominee, Kabak added: “As a footballer? I like his style and how he plays, so I can say he's my football idol."
