Swedish prodigy dubbed ‘a proper baller’ by her manager hopes to make mark against old club in Champions League
Arsenal’s new midfielder Rosa Kafaji has a confession. “Something controversial about me: I haven’t watched that much football because I was mostly outside playing,” she says. “So, I didn’t watch much football, but I know Arsenal is a big club that has had some big players – players like Thierry Henry.”
Kafaji, widely recognised as one of the best young talents in Europe, has arrived at Arsenal with a lot of hype. The 21-year-old can be forgiven for having been glued to a pitch rather than a screen, because the result has been a dynamism on the ball few can match.
