Arsenal legend Paul Merson has identified Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Desire Doue as the two PSG players who could cause major trouble for the Gunners in Saturday’s Champions League final.
Writing in his column for Sportskeeda, Merson said the PSG wingers are relentless and will give Mikel Arteta’s side no time to settle.
“The big problem that Arsenal are going to face is the threat on offer from the PSG wingers,” Merson said. “Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Desire Doue, they are both relentless and give you no breathing space! These two just get the ball and go at you again and again.”
