Paris Saint-Germain star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has warned Arsenal they are facing “one of the most dangerous sides in world football” in their Champions League semi-final.

PSG’s forward line has been in electric form, with a front three Kvaratskhelia, Ousmane] Dembele and either Desire Doue or Bradley Barcola to pose a formidable threat to the Gunners.

Kvaratskhelia has shone since his £60million January move from January and says Arsenal are coming up against some “top-quality players”.

“Their individual qualities really help me a lot because they create so many chances,” said Kvaratskhelia. “Having such skilful and quick players around you, who can score goals and provide assists out of nowhere, is something to truly appreciate.

“It's always a good thing to have some competition within the team but we're more focused on pushing one another to be better. That's extremely positive for the team, because it keeps everyone on their toes. When you've got top-quality players around you, you're naturally driven to give your best.

“Creating that kind of healthy competition within a squad isn't easy, so it's great that we've managed to achieve it. Doue, Dembele, Barcola - they're all top players capable of performing at a very high level.

“What stands out about Doue is his self-confidence. He's only 19 yet he's a real gift to football, with so much more to offer. What sets him apart from other young players is his love for the game and his professionalism. Everyone believes in him and his talent. We have so many quality attackers - it's what makes us one of the most dangerous sides in world football today.
