ARSENAL HAVE MADE A BIG MISTAKE WITH £280,000-A-WEEK PLAYER, SAYS FORMER AGENT
Havertz, a versatile player who can play up front or as an offensive midfielder, joined Arsenal in the summer of 2023 from London and Premier League rivals Chelsea.
Sky Sports claims that the Arsenal spent £65 million on the 24-year-old’s transfer fees.
The German international is paid a weekly salary of £280,000 by the Gunners (Spotrac).
Arsenal told about transfer mistake with Kai Havertz
“I saw the Arsenal game and I think their buys have been terrific,” Smith said in CaughtOffside, “but I’m not sure why they got Kai Havertz.
“It’s just my opinion, but why would you spend £65 million for an off-the-bench player? Just my view, though.
We disagree with Arsenal’s decision to spend £65 million on Kai Havertz.
That was a lot of cash.
Although Havertz is now 24 and has a lot of talent, he was unable to consistently contribute much at Chelsea.
The fact that the Blues were eager to offload Havertz says a lot.
The German international has not done especially well despite starting all four of Arsenal’s Premier League games so far this season.
Mikel Arteta, the manager of Arsenal, appears to be attempting to integrate Havertz too forcefully.
In the Premier League, Havertz has so far played in 95 games.
In those games, the attacker has contributed seven assists along with 19 goals.
