Ajax starlet Riechedly Bazoer admits he does see shades of Arsenal legend Patrick Vieira in himself, echoing the words of others.
Bazoer has broken through into the senior Ajax side since the turn of the year and has quickly established himself as one of the Dutch club's brightest talents.
He has been widely compared with a young Vieira due to his playing style and has been linked with several clubs as a result of his performances, including English giants Arsenal and Chelsea.
Bazoer is aware of the links, but has no intention of quitting Ajax to move to England before he is 23 years old.
And the midfielder can see something of Vieira in himself.

"He was also quiet on the ball, physically strong, technically good and with lots of energy in his legs", Bazoer told Voetbal International.
"I've also got that attitude", the 18-year-old added.
Bazoer is currently in talks with Ajax over penning a new contract at the Amsterdam ArenA and is viewed as the find of the season for the Dutch champions.
The midfielder spent time in the youth ranks at PSV Eindhoven before heading to Ajax in 2012.
