Piers Morgan is one of the most prominent critics of Mikel Arteta’s decision to continue fielding Kai Havertz in matches. The German midfielder joined the Gunners in the summer but has struggled to make a significant impact at the club. Despite his underwhelming tenure at Chelsea, Arteta remained optimistic about Havertz’s potential contribution to the team.
While Havertz has shown glimpses of quality during certain periods, overall, he has failed to impress the majority of supporters. Particularly when deployed as a false nine, he highlights Arsenal’s pressing need for a new striker.
Morgan, who has consistently been unimpressed with Havertz’s performances, now speculates about Arteta’s apparent fixation on selecting the former Bayer Leverkusen player.
He said, as quoted by The Sun:
“I’ve come up with a Master Plan because I am sick and tired of Arsenal not having a proper striker.
“I think that Arteta has a blind spot about this. He has a ridiculous allegiance to Havertz who I just don’t think is good enough.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
Havertz has been a good contributor to the team, but he joined under the weight of a lot of expectations and was never a popular signing.
It will be very hard for him to convince supporters that he is the answer to our attacking problems.

I have not read this article because Mr Morgan knows nothing and his insignificant opinion is worthless as in so many other subjects. The man is not worthy to clean Kai’s shoes.
come on fella,been watching arsenal for decades home and away,would you call havertz a good signing and gets you excited when watching him
he is useless 65mill chelsea certainly saw us walking up the kings road, a joke of a signing
It’s unfair to say Havertz is not good enough; he’s a good player. He’s scored some goals and dished out assists. His production in England has never reached anything close to how effective he was in Germany.
The problem fans have with Havertz is that he’s no better than Balogun and no where near as good as Lacazette; both of whom Arteta could not wait to be rid. Arsenal paid a fortune for the German and he is the Gunner’s highest paid player, and his performances have not been to that level. Trossard has been just as effective when given opportunities, and his presence has sidelined Gabriel Jesus. Eddie Nketiah has produced as many goals and assists with fewer opportunities.
Well said Michael.
Fake Gunner
Kai is a decent squad player
Whatever any Gooner may think about what use HAVERTZ IS TO US, the fact that Piers “giant ego” Morgan does not want him , makes me, for just one, better disposed toward Havertz, than I was prior to reading Morgans latest EGO LED RANT!!
After the camp in Dubai, Arteta requested the Arsenal fraternity to trust the players and get behind them and also promised us better results and since then things are not against his words, so trust the process.
👍👍
Kai, can not be written off like that, for instance, in the last game Kai made his presence felt and played significantly well.
Why is Morgan so always interested in criticizing Arsenal players.
No one talks about Mudryk of Chelsea or Anthony of United whom Kai is far better than though different positions one would say. Kai wasn’t brought in as a prolific goal scorer and in my assessment, he is doing his job.
Kia is a good player just that he is slow and lack placement in front of goal.but he hold up play and he position well.
