Haller impressing the pundits

|

Seb Haller really is becoming the Premier League man of the moment as far as the pundits are concerned.

His opportunistic first goal and genius level second against Watford has drawn praise from two tough operators – MOTD’s Danny Murphy and Glenn Hoddle while on on duty for BT.

And it’s that regular desire to try the overhead kicks which are catching the eye and looks set to become a trademark of his game along with his hold up ability and brilliant first touch.

Murphy applauded all of that on MOTD but Hoddle went further describing his goal attempts as “incredible” and recalling similar attempts by Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

” Touch of the old Ibra, Ibrahimovic, like the one he tried in the first-half as he nearly scored with the back of his heel, incredible,” said Hoddle on BT Sport Final Score (16:35, Saturday, August 25th).
