Rangers loanee Gedion Zelalem boldly claims he can reach the levels of Pirlo

Arsenal young gun Gedion Zelalem is nothing if not very confident is his own abilities. Having been shipped off up north to Rangers on loan, Zelalem is not fretting about his talents or Arsenal career.

Speaking during one of his first interviews for Rangers, Zelalem responded to comparisons to the likes of Andrea Pirlo by stating that he could reach the levels of the Italian maestro with some hard work.

“It’s obviously great being compared to Pirlo. Who doesn’t want to be compared to him? But I still have a long way to go to be at the same level as them. I definitely think I will reach that level” sniffed the humble upstart.
