Kai Havertz is on a tightrope. Recruited by Arsenal this summer for around 80 million euros, the German international is struggling to find his place in the Gunners collective. Used in midfield by Mikel Arteta, the former Chelsea player has often been disappointing so far. To the point of seeing the 1998 world champion Franck Leboeuf declare that his best place was probably… on the bench.
“His best position on the pitch? Maybe right now it’s on the benchsaid the former Chelsea defender for ESPN. I don’t see a place for him. I think it was a mistake to hire Havertz on Arteta’s part. They are completely unbalanced because of him and Odegaard playing almost on the same line.”
