Arsenal goalkeeper Karl Hein is yet to make a senior debut, but he has again shown his huge potential on the international stage with Estonia.

Estonia were beaten 1-0 by Wales on Monday night as Kieffer Moore’s 12th minute goal proved to be the winner in Tallinn.

Few really expected Estonia to win, but they did frustrate Wales with a 0-0 draw last month.

One of the key players in that game was goalkeeper Hein, and he was impressive again on Monday.

Hein had to make a superb flying save to deny Connor Roberts early on, but couldn’t stop Moore scoring.

Hein also made a smart save from a Moore flick, and denied Sorba Thomas with a late stop.

Wins are hard to come by for Estonia, but at least Arsenal talent Hein is starring.

Fans praise Arsenal talent Hein

Hein, 19, joined Arsenal from Nomme United in his native Estonia back in 2018.

Despite being around the Arsenal first team, Hein hasn’t made a competitive appearance under Mikel Arteta.

Having signed a new long-term contract last month, you would expect Hein to feature in the Arsenal team at some point.

Hein has now been praised on Twitter, with one Arsenal fan branding him a ‘massive talent’.

Others think Hein is ‘actually impressive’ and could be better than Bernd Leno, though there is some fear that he could leave.

Non-Arsenal fans even branded Hein ‘amazing’, with the teenager again catching the eye for his coutnry.
