Former Chelsea striker Chris Sutton has criticized Mikel Arteta for ruining the spirit of good footballer Kai Havertz by taking the technical player. Playing in an uncomfortable position like the target striker in

the FA Cup last weekend. The 24-year-old German played the role of offensive leader, being on the field for 88 minutes but unable to make an impact. Even though there were many opportunities before being shot by Liverpool at the end of the game, they were eliminated at home 2-0.

“The fact that Arteta had Kai Havertz play as a target striker did not have a positive effect on him and A. Arsenal, even less.” Sutton began expressing his views through the ยูฟ่าเบท

‘s program . “Psychologically, when Havertz knows he has to play in that position. He looked like a man in chains. And had to bear too much pressure ′′

Havertz looked hesitant and slow. As we saw in many moments during the first half of the game lost to Liverpool,

since joining the team from the “Sings Blues” for a fee of 65 million pounds, Havertz has scored 5 and 1 from 29 matches. every competition, and that doesn’t impress Sutton.

“I look back at the goals Havertz has scored this season. There was a penalty to close the box against Bournemouth and come off the bench to score the winning goal over Brentford

. Or any other goal he scored. It happened with Gabriel Jesus standing in front of the goal.”

“Havertz started his career with Leverkusen From being an attacking midfielder while at Chelsea, he was increasingly used as a striker. It’s an unfortunate situation. Even though he scored the winning goal in the final Champions League”

Gabriel Jesus is injured and not named in the team, but the “Cannons” still have a striker like Eddie Nketiah, who sat on the bench until the 81st minute, so he got a chance.

“Havert Z is a good football player. But he is being mentally destroyed by Arteta by playing as a striker,” the former England star continued.

“The truth is Havertz has to play as a central midfielder. This season we’ve seen that he has more freedom in that position and Arteta should reflect on his mistakes.” “

One more question: What will Eddie Nketiah think about this? Because if it were me Probably won’t be able to stay at Arsenal anymore when the team is lacking a striker. But he hasn’t started yet.”
