Jeremy Doku Names Arsenal Defender as the Toughest Opponent He’s Ever Faced
Manchester City winger Jeremy Doku has revealed the most challenging defender he has faced in his career so far. Surprisingly, it is not Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold but Arsenal’s £34 million sensation.
In a recent interview, Doku admitted that his battle against this Arsenal star was far tougher than facing Alexander-Arnold. “It was a very different story when I faced Alexander-Arnold compared to him. He’s too strong and fast for me. He’s the toughest defender I’ve ever had to come up against,” Doku said.
His statement echoes a similar sentiment shared by City’s star striker, Erling Haaland, who previously praised the same Arsenal defender for his strength and speed. Haaland, known for his physical dominance, had also acknowledged the difficulty of playing against the Gunners’ defensive powerhouse.
The Arsenal defender’s ability to handle elite attackers like Doku and Haaland highlights his growing reputation in the Premier League. With his physicality, speed, and defensive intelligence, he continues to prove why Arsenal invested heavily in him.
As the season progresses, more top forwards may find themselves struggling against Arsenal’s rising star, reinforcing his status as one of the league’s toughest defenders.
