Cabaye has revealed he has admired Scholes for many years.
“I love Paul Scholes – he came out of retirement and is still very good in every game he plays,” Cabaye told The Independent.
“He can pass, he can move and he can score, he is fantastic. For me, I am very happy to be compared to Paul Scholes and I hope to do the same kind of things he does in games.
“People should copy Paul Scholes and Steven Gerrard as well. These are English midfielders that everybody has to copy. They feel football.
“It is very pleasant to watch their game and to play against them, but I hope I become like them.”
