Arsenal midfielder Kai Havertz is coming under fire after an underwhelming start to his career at Arsenal. He has been bang average in the opening few games.
The German joined the Gunners for £65m from Chelsea after a poor turn at Stamford Bridge. And, sadly, he’s been fuelled by many of the same problems he faced at Chelsea. This is since being at Arsenal.
Havertz is a talented technician. But nobody can seem to figure out what his best position is at Arsenal
Speaking on Sky Sports, Stephen Warnock has been discussing Havertz’s issues at Arsenal. He’s compared the midfielder to his former Chelsea teammate. That is ofcourse Mason Mount. He is claiming that he’s a brilliant player who doesn’t quite have a proper position.
Arsenal midfielder Havertz needs to prove his haters wrong
Warnock from Sky Sports said:
“I think Mikel Arteta has looked at him and thought he will fit into what I’m trying to achieve and what I’m trying to do. I think the surprising thing for me is that when we watched Kai Havertz at Chelsea we don’t know what his best position is. He’s very similar to Mason Mount. A brilliant footballer, technically superb, tactically outstanding, but what is his actual best position? I still don’t know with Kai Havertz“
There’s a lot to like about Havertz from a football purist point of view. But the reality is that he’s largely ineffectual. That is ofcourse in the final third and he doesn’t make enough of an impact.
He’s a bit all over the place positionally too. He also struggled to find his best role under Frank Lampard, Graham Potter and Thomas Tuchel. It looks like Mikel Arteta is also struggling to figure out how to get the best out of the German at Arsenal.
