Former Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar believes that Arsenal are similar to Ajax in their footballing philosophy.
The Gunners believe in playing passing football and have won many admirers for their style.
“I love the style of football and even the philosophy of Wenger with the young players,” he said.
“We’ve got a similar feeling at Ajax. We want to educate them in a certain way to learn how to play good football and attacking football.
“At a certain time in their career, they want to look somewhere else. They need to go abroad to a bigger league.
“This has happened at Arsenal also over the last couple of years. A lot of players went and became even bigger players at other clubs.”
