Chong reacts to Robben comparison & discusses working with Ibrahimovic at Man Utd

Tahith Chong is flattered to have earned comparisons with former Netherlands international Arjen Robben, with the Manchester United starlet currently making a name for himself during a loan spell at Werder Bremen.

The 20-year-old forward has long been held in high regard at Old Trafford, but competition for places is fierce at his parent club and, after signing a new contract in England, he has gone in search of regular game time in Germany.

A bright start has been made to life in Bremen, with a superb solo goal recorded in a DFB-Pokal clash with Carl Jeiss Zena, and Chong is now being billed as the ‘Curacao Arjen Robben’.
