'He does it': Kai Havertz says £27m Arsenal player tries to embarrass David Raya in Arsenal training
Today at 11:15 AM
David Raya is one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League these days.
The Spaniard won the Golden Glove last season, and Raya has been praised for his brilliant performances this year.
It must be frustrating for Arsenal's strikers to have to play against Raya in training every single day.
Indeed, Raya is an incredible stopper, and he must be hard to score against.
However, that doesn't stop them from trying to embarrass the goalkeeper.
According to Kai Havertz, speaking to the Premier League, Leandro Trossard often tries to embarrass Raya in training by scoring chipped finishes and attempting to nutmeg the goalkeeper.

Havertz spoke about some of Trossard's antics in training.
The striker says that Trossard is a player who tries audacious finishes in an attempt to get one over Raya.
"When it comes to training, does he take it even further? Does he dribble it out?" Havertz was asked about Raya
"No, in training you train how you play, we try to do the simple stuff right, and that's what he (David Raya) does," Havertz said.
"So you don't get many players trying to get one over him, some cheeky lobs or some nutmeg finishes" Havertz was asked.
"People try to do it, but not a lot of times," Havertz said.
"Who do you think is the most likely to do it?" The host asked.
"Trossard, he does it sometimes," Havertz said.
What is Leandro Trossard like in training?
Havertz says that the £27m man is a bit of a showman in training, and that's not the first time we've heard that.
Trossard recently emulated a famous Mesut Ozil trick in training, while Trossard impressed in training earlier this season.
Interestingly, Trossard isn't seen as the best trainer at Arsenal.
Indeed, Declan Rice has recently named Gabriel Jesus as the best player in Arsenal training.
"I think it's either Gabriel Jesus or Odegaard, one of them two, they are just so good at football," Rice said.
"Probably Jesus but Odegaard is there as well, they're both just so good. The stuff they do with the ball is unbelievable. To see it, it's so good."
Whether it's Trossard pulling of audacious tricks, or Jesus putting on a show behind the scenes, it's fair to say that Arsenal have some incredible talent at their disposal who are shining at London Colney.
