Arsenal striker Kai Havertz has revealed the team-mate who regularly tries to embarrass goalkeeper David Raya on a regular basis 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 run has not quite gone to plan so far after a recent wobble.

However, Raya’s presence and standing as one of the best goalkeepers in the league does not stop Arsenal players trying to put him in his place from time to time at London Colney.

And Havertz claims the outsider Leandro Trossard often tries to leave Raya red-faced in training by making spotty finishes and trying to foul the goalkeeper.

“When it comes to training, does he take it even further? Does he hit it off?” Havertz was asked about Raya by an interviewer for the Premier League. “No, in training you practice how you play, we try to do the simple things right, and that’s what he (David Raya) does.

“So you don’t get a lot of players trying to get one over him, some cheeky lobs or some nutmeg finishes. People try to do that, but not many times.

“Who do you think is most likely to do it?” Asked the presenter, to which Havertz replied: “Trossard, he does it sometimes”.

Trossard, Arsenal showman but not the best coach

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

Yes, Gunners midfielder Declan Rice recently named Gabriel Jesus as the winner of that very award.

“I think it’s either 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 are both so good. What they do with the ball is incredible. To see that, it’s so good.”

Arsenal are back in action on Saturday 23 November 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 an Arsenal star who could become an outstanding centre-back option for the next decade at the Santiago Bernabeu.

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

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

Meanwhile, Arsenal are among the European clubs who have been attracted by Ajax midfielder Kenneth Taylor’s performances 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.

As such, Arsenal are on the hunt for a new midfielder to add to the mix, and appear to have found a perfect alternative in the Dutch star.
