Kai Havertz has left some observers puzzled and Parlour is one of them.
Ex-Arsenal player Ray Parlour has expressed his uncertainty regarding Arsenal’s decision to sign Kai Havertz. He insisted that the Gunners should have prioritised a striker instead.
Parlour admits they lack a prolific goal scorer who can consistently deliver around 25 goals per season.
Kai Havertz has played as a forward for Chelsea in recent seasons, has left some observers puzzled and Parlour is one of them.
He said on Talk Sport: ‘Havertz was a bit of a shock, because I thought they needed an out-and-out striker.
‘[Gabriel] Jesus is there, Eddie Nketiah has done great when he’s come in but I thought they needed one more top quality striker.
‘But they went for Havertz and spent a lot of money on him. Edu and Mikel Arteta must see something in him.’
Arteta has mostly signed players that did well at the Emirates and we still have to trust his judgement on Havertz.
