Gabby Agbonlahor has given his verdict on Arsenal and Germany international midfielder Kai Havertz.
The former Aston Villa striker and talkSPORT pundit has not been impressed with Havertz, who joined Arsenal from Chelsea in the summer transfer window.
So, what has Gabby Agbonlahor said about Arsenal midfielder Kai Havertz?
Let’s take a look.
What’s the story?
Well, Kai Havertz is not having the best of times at Arsenal, and he struggled again this past weekend.
Arsenal got the better of Burnley 3-1 at the Emirates Stadium in North London in the Premier League.
Havertz started the match and played for 59 minutes.
The Germany international has been struggling all season for Arsenal, and he did not impress against Burnley.
The midfielder took two shots and none of them was on target, played one key pass, had a pass accuracy of 77.3%, won three headers, took 31 touches, and put in one cross.
Havertz also failed to score from a free header.
The midfielder has made eight starts and four substitute appearances in the Premier League for Arsenal this season, scoring. one goal and giving one assist in those games.
Former Aston Villa striker and talkSPORT pundit Gabby Agbonlahor believes that Havertz is getting worse.
Agbonlahor said about Havertz on talkSPORT (6:38 pm, November 11, 2023): “£65 million. £65 million.
“Today he had a cross in, it was a free header.
“He headed down. It’s not even like above you, heads it over the bar.
“There’s no confidence. He slows down attacks.
“He is playing in a comfort zone, and he is getting worse.”
Kai Havertz proving to be money wasted by Arsenal
In my opinion, Arsenal should not have signed Kai Havertz from Chelsea in the summer transfer window.
I do not think that Arsenal needed Havertz.
The Gunners have enough attacking midfielders.
The 24-year-old is best used as an attacking midfielder or as a number 10.
Martin Odegaard is the best number 10 Arsenal have got.
The Norway international attacking midfielder has progressed a lot under Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta.
Having said all that about Havertz, I believe that Arsenal fans should not give up on the German star yet.
After all, he is only 24.
Arteta has improved and developed Odegaard and Saliba, and maybe Havertz could explode under him soon.
