Thierry Henry has sung the praises of Chelsea and Tottenham target Josko Gvardiol following the defender's impressive display against Real Madrid in the Champions League. The 20-year-old netted the opening goal in RB Leipzig's 3-2 win over the Spanish giants as he continues to grow into one of Europe's most exciting young talents.
Speaking on CBS Sports, the former Arsenal forward labelled Gvardiol as a 'rare breed' of centre-half. The Croatia international was heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge in the summer but, after penning a five-year extension with the German giants late into the window, a move failed to materialise.
"It’s a rare breed to have a centre-back with a left foot," Henry said. "What I like is, and you have to give credit to Croatia and Dinamo Zagreb. They produce players at will. He’s strong. An eye for a pass.
