Most young footballers dream of being like their idols – but youngster Gonzalo Galvan has the advantage of actually looking like his.

The young midfielder, who plays for Argentine minnows Villa Santillan, is a dead-ringer for his dream footballer – Mesut Ozil.

The former Real Madrid ace and now Arsenal star is loved by Galvan, with the duo both keen on playing the number 10 role behind the strikers.

And while he might not have Ozil’s talent, he is already gathering similar amounts of fame to the German, with Argentine TV crews rushing to interview him.

Indeed, the Ozil doppelgänger has been speaking to a whole host of networks about his hopes and ambitions in football – as well as the likeness to his favourite play-maker.

The young lad clearly doesn’t mind the comparisons, as the video from his recent appearance on the ‘Pequeno Crack’ show demonstrates.
