Arsenal legend Ian Wright spoke about the Gunners' new signing on 'The Ringer' podcast and praised the midfielder and his performances when he made his debut against Nurnberg.

Arsenal played their first pre-season friendly against Nurnberg on Thursday. Arteta's men drew with the German side 1-1 after Saka's opener was cancelled out by Okunuki in the second period.

Kai Havertz, who joined the Gunners in the summer transfer window, made his debut in Thursday's friendly and his performances surprised several football stars.

Arsenal legend Ian Wright spoke about the German on 'The Ringer' podcast and said the midfielder would be a good addition to Mikel Arteta's midfield.

"Kai [Havertz] is a player of top quality. He has great versatility and is an intelligent player. He will bring a huge amount of extra strength to our midfield and variety to our play. I feel very, very confident about that midfield and what that midfield can produce, especially with Havertz," he began.

"Havertz in that role, I think we are going to be very surprised by his quality as well. Arsenal fans are going to love him."
