“How Arsenal discovered a player like him is a mystery. He’s a big big talent and didn’t even give my players a breathing space in the match”- PSV coach Peter Bosz says he’s blown away and impressed by one outstanding Arsenal star who is the most difficult player he’s ever faced this season- Not Saka, Not Rice and not Saliba

PSV BOSS BLOWN AWAY BY ONE ‘OUTSTANDING’ ARSENAL PLAYER

Arsenal ace Kai Havertz has been praised by PSV Eindhoven boss Peter Bosz having previously worked together with Bayer Leverkusen in Germany.

Arsenal faced PSV in the Champions League this evening, travelling to the Netherlands for their final group-stage game.

There wasn’t much riding on this one as Arsenal and PSV had both already qualified for the knockout stages of the competition.

Mikel Arteta unsurprisingly made changes to his side and striker Eddie Nketiah pounced to put Arsenal 1-0 up.

PSV found a leveller through Yorbe Vertessen and neither side could then find the winner, meaning they had to settle for a 1-1 draw.

Peter Bosz raves about Arsenal ace Kai Havertz

Arteta left out most of his star names from the 1-0 defeat at Aston Villa over the weekend.

One man who did keep his place was Kai Havertz, who had a late goal controversially ruled out in that defeat.

The German didn’t exactly have his best night, managing just one shot and 41 touches before being substituted in the 88th minute.

Havertz didn’t manage a key pass or a shot on target, with the 24-year-old unable to make a huge impact in the final third.

There are still some questions over Havertz despite his recent strong run of form and PSV boss Peter Bosz has moved to praise him.

Bosz coached Havertz at Bayer Leverkusen and still has a huge amount of respect for the former Chelsea man.

As quoted by The Telegraph Sam Dean, Bosz hailed Havertz following the final whistle in Eindhoven tonight.

Bosz suggested that Havertz is a ‘big, big talent’ and an ‘outstanding player’, claiming you don’t need to be some sort of football expert to see that.

“You don’t need to be a scientist in football to see this was a big, big talent. Absolutely. He is really a modest guy… An outstanding, outstanding player,” said Bosz.

Havertz clearly has talent but his time in English football has been a little up and down.

German football is very different to the Premier League and the prominence of ‘raumdeuters’ – ‘space invaders’ – isn’t really matched in the Premier League.

Havertz has been moved around from striker to number 10 to midfield and back again, with managers seemingly trying him in different roles to try and get the best out of him.

Arteta has been doing a fine job in recent weeks and with Bosz’s praise ringing in his ears, Havertz will be looking to kick on in the coming weeks and months.
