Arteta full of praise for Arsenal pair Trossard and Havertz

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has sung the praises of attacking pair Kai Havertz and Leandro Trossard.

Arteta was delighted with both players for their Champions League win against Sevilla.

Ahead of meeting Burnley, Arteta said of Trossard: "Really happy, obviously it has been almost a year since he joined us.

"We knew his quality and what he can bring to the team, that is why we bought him because he can fulfil different positions and as well different needs with qualities that we didn't have in the squad when we want to do something different and against Sevilla he showed his quality."

On Havertz, he also said: "I can tell you that I am really pleased with the way he is performing. Looking at just the specific numbers of what he is producing in front of goal does have to improve and we have to improve them but in many other areas of the pitch what he gives to the pitch at the moment is really important."
