Kyra Cooney-Cross has certainly made an impression on the Arsenal Women fanbase since her arrival from Hammarby last summer - and Jonas Eidevall is delighted with the “tremendous qualities” the midfielder brings to his team.
The 21-year-old has seamlessly integrated into our squad - with her manager encouraged by what he’s seen so far.
“I have huge belief in Kyra,” Eidevall said in his pre-Manchester City press conference. “I think she has some tremendous qualities.
“She’s especially very good on the ball with short passing and long passing, which make her a very potent player when you try to break down low blocks. You know as an opposition that you need to protect a lot of spaces in order to protect her potential passes.
“In those moments, when we brought her on against Tottenham and West Ham, it was mainly to get the advantage of her distribution and her set-pieces, which are world class.”
