Kai Havertz was on target for Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal on Saturday, scoring his first goal for the Gunners since his move from Chelsea in the summer transfer window.
Arsenal eased past Bournemouth away from home in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
One of the goalscorers for the Gunners was Kai Havertz.
It came from the penalty spot.
Despite not playing well for Arsenal, Havertz has been starting pretty regularly for the Gunners.
Alan Shearer gives verdict on Arsenal midfielder Kai Havertz
Former Newcastle United striker and BBC Sport pundit Alan Shearer, though, does not think that Havertz will be a regular for Arsenal for much longer.
While looking at Havertz’s stats, the Match of the Day pundit has said that he does not think that the Germany international, who can operate as a midfielder or as a forward, will be a regular.
The 24-year-old has scored 20 goals and given seven assists in 98 Premier League appearances in his career so far.
Shearer said on Match of the Day on BBC One: “There is definitely a player in there, but when you look at the numbers, his ability, that doesn’t match those numbers.
“They need to improve.
“You know that you have to pay £60 million, £70 million, £80 million for a squad player nowadays.
“He is going to play his part, but whether he will be a regular or not, I don’t think so.”
Kai Havertz will get better for Arsenal
I believe that Arsenal will see the best of Kai Havertz in the coming weeks and months.
That Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta keeps on playing Havertz shows that he has faith in him.
The 24-year-old has made five starts and two substitute appearances in the Premier League for the Gunners so far this season.
Havertz has also played once in the UEFA Champions League and once in the EFL Cup.
Arteta clearly is giving chances to the former Chelsea player.
In my view, Havertz will get better in the coming weeks and will help Arsenal in their quest to win the Premier League title this season.
