Arsenal midfielder Samir Nasri has sung the praises of
Paris Saint-Germain striker Guillaume Hoarau following the
front-man's late call-up to the French national team.
The 25-year-old was summoned after Chelsea hot-shot Nicolas
Anelka pulled out with a toe injury that is set to rule the former
Gunner out for three weeks.
And although Hoarau’s selection has surprised some sections of the
French media - despite the ex-Le Havre striker netting 15 times in
Ligue 1 this season keeping the French capital side in title
contention - former Marseille midfielder Nasri was keen to praise
his fellow countryman and justify his selection.
“He is superb at covering the ball,” he told L'Equipe.
“He is gifted with his feet, is powerful and has great size.
"He will give service to the French team, that’s
clear.”
