Samir Nasri has admitted that being likened to Zinedine Zidane has been difficult at times, although he hopes to make the same sort of impact as the France legend.
Nasri was dubbed 'the new Zidane' early in his career due to his style of play and the fact that he grew up in Marseille.
Still only 21, Nasri arrived at Arsenal over the summer and made a superb start as he scored the winning goal against West Brom last weekend.
He believes people have expected too much from him in the past, but he feels he is now more equipped to deal with the pressure.
"The comparison with Zidane is one that is drawn with a lot of youngsters who come from north African backgrounds," Nasri said in the Daily Mirror.
"It's quite often that these young kids are likened to him in some way and he's definitely a fine role model to have.
