Stephan Lichtsteiner: "Nemanja Matic is an amazing player"

New Arsenal defender Stephan Lichtsteiner talks up the "amazing qualities" of Manchester United midfielder Nemanja Matic.

Stephan Lichtsteiner has said that he was left impressed by Nemanja Matic's performance in Switzerland's victory against Serbia on Friday night.

The Swiss became the first side at this summer's World Cup to pick up three points from a goal behind, as they claimed a 2-1 win at the Kaliningrad Stadium.

New Arsenal signing Lichtsteiner played an important part and was taken to ground by Matic at the end of the first half, earning the Manchester United midfielder a caution, but the right-back insists that there are no hard feelings.

"Matic is an amazing player. Also as a player, I like him a lot," he told Goal.com. "I have heard from many people that he his a nice person. He has amazing qualities and is an amazing character."

Lichtsteiner, who arrives at the Emirates Stadium as a free agent on July 1, will next come face to face with Matic on December 4 when Arsenal take on Manchester United in the Premier League.
