Hoyte has high hopes for Nordtveit
Defender Justin Hoyte has heaped some praise on new reserves team mate Havard Nordtveit.
Hoyte, who himself is looking to secure a place in the Arsenal first team, said: "Havard [Nordtveit] has come in. He is done so well since he got here.
"He came into a unit that had played together for some time, but was able to fit in without a worry.
"He is great on the ball, strong with his body and can read the game.
"You could see that he has impressed the manager because he was on the bench at Sunderland.
"He brings competition for places and that can only help. If there is no competition you might slip and become too relaxed, thinking that it is your place.
"With players coming in it keeps you on your toes and we all keep trying to better ourselves."

I think theses comments are from Justin's younger brother Gavin who is in direct competition with Nordveit for a place in the Arsenal Reserves and Under 19's. Justin is a full member of the first team squad so I doubt he plays with the younger players like Nordveit much.

Nordtveit definately is one of the most promising young defenders we have.
