Kai Havertz reveals top Gunners star trying to embarrass David Raya on a daily basis

Arsenal striker Kai Havertz has revealed the teammate who regularly tries to embarrass goalkeeper David Raya in training.

The Spanish stopper won the Golden Glove last season and Raya has carried his excellent form into the current campaign, although the Gunners’ title challenge has not gone entirely to plan so far after a recent faltering.

However, Raya’s presence and status as one of the best goalkeepers in the league doesn’t stop there Arsenal players occasionally try to put him in his place in London Colney.

And Havertz claims that winger Leandro Trossard often tries to leave Raya red-faced during training by scoring chipped finishes and trying to season the goalkeeper.

“When it comes to training, does he go further? Does he dribble out?” Havertz was asked about Raya by a Premier League interviewer. “No, in training you train how to play, we try to do the simple things well and that’s what he (David Raya) does.

“So there aren’t many players trying to get one over him, a few cheeky lobs or a few nutmeg finishes. People try to do it, but not often.

“Who do you think has the best chance of doing this?” the host asked, to which Havertz replied: “Trossard, he does it sometimes.”

Trossard the showman of Arsenal, but not the best trainer

Havertz added that the £27million signing is a bit of a showman but is far from the best manager at the club.

Gunners midfielder Declan Rice recently named Gabriel Jesus as the winner of that particular award.

“I think it’s Gabriel Jesus or Odegaard, one of those two, they’re just so good at football,” Rice said.

‘Probably Jesus, but Odegaard is there too, they’re both so good. What they do with the ball is incredible. To see it, it’s so good.”

Arsenal are back in action on Saturday, November 23 when they host high-flying Nottingham Forest at The Emirates in the Premier League.

Latest Arsenal news: Real Madrid urged to make Emirates Raid / Gunners Eye Netherlands star

Spanish giants Real Madrid have been urged to spend big on a top Arsenal player who could become an excellent centre-back at the Santiago Bernabeu over the next decade.

The reigning LaLiga champions are already said to be in talks to strengthen their defensive options in the January transfer window after Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal were ruled out for the rest of the current campaign.

And while a proposed move for William Saliba in the new year is almost certainly out of the question, Real has been tipped to make it happen next summer.

Meanwhile, Arsenal are among the European clubs attracted by the performances of Ajax midfielder Kenneth Taylor since the start of this season, according to reports.

The Gunners have been linked with a number of midfielders in recent times. They have seen Martin Odegaard sidelined for a while and know that Thomas Partey could soon leave the club.

Therefore, Arsenal are looking for a new midfielder to add to the mix, and that appears to be the case found a perfect option in the Dutch star.
