Former Aston Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor has criticized Arsenal attacking midfielder Kai Havertz for his performances in the current season. Agbonlahor expressed his dissatisfaction, stating that Havertz’s form is deteriorating, and he lacks confidence, which is impeding Arsenal’s attacking plays. These comments from Agbonlahor came in the aftermath of Arsenal’s 3-1 victory against Burnley in the Premier League over the weekend.
Speaking on talkSPORT about Havertz, Agbonlahor remarked, “There’s no confidence. He slows down attacks. He is playing in a comfort zone, and he is getting worse.”
It’s worth noting that Havertz made a high-profile move from Chelsea to Arsenal in the summer, with the transfer costing £65 million. However, Agbonlahor pointed out that the German international has yet to justify his substantial price tag at the North London club.
