Tennis legend Andy Murray has made a controversial opinion on X (formerly Twitter) today after Arsenal beat Brighton & Hove Albion 3-0 away from home.

Kai Havertz, who had a rough start to the season, scored fifth goal in his last seven games.

"How good is Kai Havertz," said Murray. "Easily one of the best forwards in the prem!"

Considering Murray's Tennis expertise, as appose to football, many have questioned the three-time Grand Slam winner's opinion. But if you look back through his account, it seems he's been dropping these edgy one-liners for some time. Could it be a PR stunt? Or Murray simply having some fun?

The huge £60 million that Arsenal paid Chelsea for Havertz in the summer has been a talking point ever since.

But according to some, including Murray himself, Arsenal's German talisman, guiding them to top of the league with just seven games remaining, is worth every penny.

Bukayo Saka opened the scoring with a penalty against the Seagulls, Havertz grabbed the second and Leandro Trossard added their third, on his return to Brighton.

Arsenal next play Bayern Munich, the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League.
