“He has not done anything special, he doesn’t deserve any praise, Chelsea will beat them if Arteta starts him on Saturday”- Former Chelsea defender William Gallas slams Arsenal who is ‘in trouble’ and told Mikel Arteta to drop the player to Arsenal’s fielders team

‘He’s done nothing!’ William Gallas slams Arsenal star who is ‘in trouble’

William Gallas fears Kai Havertz is already facing a battle to salvage his Arsenal career ahead of his return to Chelsea this weekend.

Eyebrows were raised when Mikel Arteta invested £65million in a player who flattered to deceive during three years at Stamford Bridge.

The Arsenal manager’s initial plan had been to reinvent Havertz as a central midfielder in place of Granit Xhaka who joined Bayer Leverkusen.

Havertz, however, has struggled to adapt to his new role and his best performances so far have come fleetingly in the false nine role he occupied for the majority of his Chelsea career.

The 24-year-old enjoyed arguably his best moment in his short Arsenal career to date prior to the international break when he created Gabriel Martinelli’s winning goal against Manchester City, but Gallas hasn’t been impressed by his contributions so far.

I’m not impressed with Kai Havertz so far,’ the former Arsenal and Chelsea defender told Lord Ping.

He’s done nothing since he joined Arsenal. He may have scored, but that was only because Martin Odegaard let him take a penalty!

‘Havertz hasn’t done anything yet, and I think he’s in trouble.

I don’t think Arsenal should have signed Kai Havertz. I think that was a mistake. If you spent £60 million on a striker, you expect them to score at least 15 goals in a season! I don’t think that’ll happen

‘Arsenal don’t have time! The season may be long, but clubs need results straight away. Havertz was at Chelsea for three years and knows the Premier League well.

‘It may take a while to settle into a new team, but he already lived in London! Players need to adapt immediately – they don’t have time.’
