Alan Smith was impressed with Kai Havertz’s performance as the German drove Arsenal to victory in their game against Brighton today.
Havertz has become arguably the most important attacker at the Emirates this season after overcoming a slow start to his spell at the club.
The German continues to show why he is such an important player in Mikel Arteta’s team. He scored a goal and provided an assist for the Gunners to destroy Brighton.
He has already outperformed his stint at Chelsea and looks far more alive in an Arsenal shirt.
Havertz’s contribution did not go unnoticed by fans and pundits, with Smith saying on Sky Sports:
“We spoke about Gabriel. He was brilliant. But I think Havertz had his best game in an Arsenal shirt. I just think he looks so at home in that role he has been asked to play. He got himself a goal and his defensive work was excellent.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
This has been one of Havertz’s best performances for us since he joined the club and we all agree now that he is a good signing.
This is just his first season at the club and it is exciting to think about how good he would be in his subsequent campaigns.
Certainly the best I have seen KH play when attacking. Today he showed he can make things happen with the ball and not just score a poacher’s goal every now and then. Deservingly the MOTM
Kai is a baller, what a performance!
‘ He has already out perform his stint at Chelsea and look far more alive in an Arsenal shirt ‘
This one catches a long list of armchair managers and fans alike off the rail, making the gaffer looking like a genius Again.
Tsamina mina, eh, eh
Waka waka, eh, eh
£60m down the drain
Kai Havertz scores again
This songs in the stand might have motivated Havertz to prove their doubters wrong and give return to Arsenal fan for their trust as we can see not only is quality but his work rate is second also to none.
Great addition to the team.
I think he was low on confidence when he arrived here and wouldn’t be surprised if he only joined because arteta showed real belief in him. Might be wrong about that, of course, but either way he’s really finding his feet here – I’d be confident seeing him starting up front, in midfield or even on the wing. He just helps bring things together and gives the team what it needs (even if it’s a heavy tackle to shake things up!). Very interesting player imo
