Kieran Tierney makes an interesting statement on Kai Havertz

Ahead of Euro 24, Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney has expressed his confidence in teammate Kai Havertz to shine on the international stage for Germany. The Scottish defender, who will be representing his own nation at the tournament, had the opportunity to train alongside Havertz at the gunners training ground and has been impressed by his quality.

“He’s a top-class player,” Tierney said about Havertz. “I trained with him for a few weeks, but I’m not surprised at how well he’s done because you could see that. I’m sure he’ll go on to have a great tournament.”

Tierney’s insight offers a glimpse into the high regard Havertz is held in within the Arsenal dressing room. Despite a somewhat mixed first season at the Emirates, Havertz has shown flashes of brilliance, and Tierney’s comments suggest that his teammates are fully aware of his potential.

The German midfielder’s ability to operate in multiple attacking positions and his knack for finding the back of the net make him a valuable asset for both club and country. As the tournament unfolds, it will be intriguing to see if Havertz can translate his club form onto the international stage and play a significant role in Germany’s Euro 24 campaign.

With Tierney and Havertz both representing their nations, the upcoming tournament will be an opportunity for the Arsenal duo to showcase their talent on the grandest stage. It will also be a chance for them to gain valuable experience and return to the Emirates with renewed confidence and hunger for success.
