Heath - Little is the best I've ever played with

Tobin Heath has played with some of the greatest players of all-time, but for her, no one compares to Kim Little.

The USA international has admired our captain throughout her career - and now they’re finally team-mates, she’s been able to see her silky skills and footwork first-hand at London Colney.

“I can honestly say I have never played with a better player than Kim Little,” Heath told Arsenal.com.

“I was thrilled to play with her, and witness her quality in training and in the games, she does the little things in football that are just brilliant, and honestly, I can’t speak highly enough about her. On the pitch it’s fantastic.”

“[When Kim made a big tackle late on] I think that comes a lot from Jonas and his personality and the way he wants to play football and I think the team has embraced it and it’s a big challenge. I think everyone wants to take that next step because it will take us the furthest we want to go in competitions.”
