Kai Havertz joined Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal from Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea in the summer transfer window.
Arsenal paid £65 million in transfer fees to Chelsea for Kai Havertz.
It was a lot of money.
Arsenal are also paying Havertz £280,000 per week as salary (Spotrac).
So, the pressure is on the 24-year-old to deliver.
It just has not happened for Havertz at Arsenal yet.
Havertz has made four starts and two substitute appearances in the Premier League for the Gunners so far this season.
The Arsenal no. 29 has made one appearance in the UEFA Champions League and has played once in the League Cup.
Havertz has not scored a goal or provided an assist.
Kevin Campbell on Arsenal forward Kai Havertz
Former Arsenal striker and BBC Sport pundit Kevin Campbell has given his take on the situation of Havertz.
The pundit has noted that people are wrong about Havertz, saying that the Germany international forward adds efficiency to the Arsenal team.
Campbell said about Havertz on BBC Radio 5 Live: “For me, he is lacking confidence.
“For any player who is lacking confidence, he is going to have bits missing out of their game. That’s just the way it is.
“The fact of the matter is this. Kai Havertz actually adds efficiency to Arsenal that a lot of people won’t give him credit for because as far as people are concerned, he cost £65 million and what he should be scoring five to 10 goals a week.
“It doesn’t work like that.”
Arsenal fans should have faith in Kai Havertz
In my view, Arsenal fans should have faith in Kai Havertz.
Just because it has not worked out for the Germany international in the opening weeks of the season does not mean that the forward is doomed at Arsenal.
I am confident that Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta will get the best out of Havertz.
Just look at what Arteta has done with Martin Odegaard.
Odegaard did not have the best of times at Real Madrid, but the Norway international attacking midfielder is now one of the best playmakers in the Premier League.
