Mikel Arteta’s standing with Arsenal board could be compromised if Kai Havertz fails

The Gunners boss considered Kai Havertz the right fit for his team and signed him at Emirates.

Gabby Agbonlahor admits that Mikel Arteta’s standing with the Arsenal board could be compromised if Kai Havertz fails to live up to expectations at Emirates.

The German has also been on the radar of many experts since his signing from Chelsea. The former Bundesliga man had struggled at Stamford Bridge. He faced uncertainty about his best role at the club.

The Gunners boss considered him the right fit for his team and signed him at Emirates. The pressure is high on this player and he has faced difficulties.

Gabby Agbonlahor said to Football Insider: “We could see Havertz come into the side more and more with Jesus out injured.

“They really need to play him. I’ve said that I wouldn’t play him, but that’s just my point of view.

“But when you put your neck on the line and spend so much money on a player, you have to play him.

“Otherwise the Arsenal board will decide that Arteta can’t be trusted with big money again.”
