Antique Arsenal star Emmanuel Petit Item accumulated praise Mikel ArtetaMarquez attacks Asenatura Kai Havertz To prove the critics wrong, no club.
also Germany The international made an unexpected move to London last year, when he joined Gunners from Chelsea in a £65m deal.
The former Bayer Leverkusen player has not enjoyed much success at Stamford Bridge and there were some doubts about a move to the Emirates, or that a slow start to his green and white career did not help him.
It took a while to get going, but the 24-year-old settled in and eventually had an impressive first season under Arteta, scoring 13 goals while occupying the attack, rather than the midfield role he was expected to play when he was killed.
Havertz started his second season at Arsenal in fine style on the opening day with a goal and an assist in a 2-0 win over Wolves, and former Arsenal midfielder Petit was impressed with how the German has saved his reputation.
“The only thing I can say about Kai Havertz is that he never gives up,” he said in French. Play area.
“When he went to Arsenal, he received criticism from ex-players, pundits, traders and the media. Mikel Arteta has to trust him to play well, even when he is not there, he will be there on the pitch.
Havertz's shoulders were stressed, and the love and respect of his teammates was very important to a player like him, and he can be very sensitive.
“There is no Chelsea, Havertz was clearly affected and needed a positive environment. Your team-mates have the confidence to hit the ball throughout the game, not Chelsea or the time when they are not playing smoothly and not being able to hit the ball.
“He wasn't lucky with Arsenal, but he's definitely playing with confidence now, which says a lot about Arteta,” he added.
Arsenal will finally try to beat Manchester City in the Premier League this season, having failed twice in previous seasons, and despite praising Havertz's impact, Petit still feels the Gunners could have had more firepower and no attack to help.
“Or Arsenal need a striker who scores 20 goals a season. “At the moment, there are some players who can score 10 to 15 goals a season, like Manchester City usually do,” he said.
“Pep Guardiola changed the system because he knew he needed a striker who could score a lot of goals. In Erling Haaland’s first season, he broke records and won the Champions League.
“Mikel Arteta will follow in Guardiola's footsteps, the way he plays every time and the striker will be serious in the game,” he added.
When pressed on potential options Arsenal could demand in the final few days of January, Petit said: “I would say Neco Williams or someone like Ivan Toney could replicate Haaland’s production at Arsenal.”
“Toni has a close relationship with Bryan Mbeumo, understanding the moment and the movements of his team-mates is important for Arsenal, and he can be the keeper to take you to the title – a late winner can do wonders.”
